Acts 2:25-31 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

²⁵David says about Him:

‘I saw the Lord always before me;

because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.

²⁶Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;

my body also will dwell in hope,

²⁷because You will not abandon my soul to Hades,

nor will You let Your Holy One see decay.

²⁸You have made known to me the paths of life;

You will fill me with joy in Your presence.’

          29Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
          30But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that He would place one of his descendants on his throne.
          31Foreseeing this, David spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that He was not abandoned to Hades, nor did His body see decay.
