In Acts 2:22-41, the core of Peter's Pentecost sermon, he proclaims that Jesus of Nazareth performed miracles by God's power, was crucified according to God's plan, and was raised from the dead—death could not hold Him. Peter shows Jesus has been exalted to God's right hand as both Lord and Christ, and has poured out the Holy Spirit. When the crowd asks what to do, Peter urges them: "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the Holy Spirit." This risen Jesus is the foundation of our living hope, calling us to repentance and faith.
