As important as Jesus' crucifixion, death, and burial are to the Christian faith, it would be all null-and-void if that was the end of the story! Central to the gospel is not only the death and burial of Jesus, but His resurrection! And when it comes to this doctrine, the apostles were not bashful! As a matter of fact it was this very thing that fueled the Apostles with courage not seen beforehand! The fact of the death, burial AND resurrection of Jesus functions as the interpretive lens by which the entire OT was now understood. Everything points to Jesus! All the types and shadows of the OT find their fulfillment in Him.
The design of Peter's sermon here in Acts 2 is a combination of (1) appeal to evidence, (2) appeal to prophecy, and (3) appeal to divine sovereignty. He argues from these three foundations that Jesus is the Christ.
