Purpose Restored Through Jesus.Acts 3:14-26 we witness a pivotal moment in the early Church where Peter addresses the crowd after healing a lame man. This passage reveals a profound truth about how Jesus restores our purpose.Peter begins by acknowledging the crowd's ignorance and their role in Jesus' crucifixion, highlighting the irony that they rejected the very One who was sent to restore and redeem them. He emphasizes that Jesus is the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy, specifically the promise of a prophet like Moses and the Savior foretold by the prophets.The core message is that Jesus' suffering and resurrection were not just historical events but the means through which God restores our purpose. Peter explains that Jesus' sacrifice was necessary for the restoration of humanity. Through repentance and turning back to God, individuals can have their sins wiped away, thus experiencing a renewal of their divine purpose and a restoration of their relationship with God.Peter further assures that Jesus will return to fulfill the ultimate restoration of all things. By accepting Jesus, believers not only receive forgiveness but also align themselves with the divine purpose intended for them from the beginning.The sermon underscores that Jesus' life, death, and resurrection are central to restoring our purpose. Through Him, we are invited to return to a place of divine alignment and fulfillment, experiencing the full restoration of our intended purpose in God's grand design.
