The Healing of the Nations

Today at Christ Church Las Vegas we hear about two miracles performed by the Apostle Peter. The second half of the Psalm 22 emphasizes the victory and the result of Christ's suffering on the cross.

The result of His death, burial, resurrection, is victory. In Psalm 22:27, all the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will worship before you, all the earth turning, all the families worshiping for the kingdom is the Lord's, and he rules over the nations.

This is the result of the suffering and the death of Christ.

This is not a defeat, this is victory! The power of the gospel is going to advance into every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. There will be many who come from the north, east, south, and west, and reclined at the table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom while the sons of the perdition are going to be cast out.

Pastor Stackhouse suggests that the beginning of the fulfillment of that promise is before us here in Acts 9.
