Commentary
Commentary on Acts 10:42
Theological / DevotionalCommanded us to preach. This command is implied in Matthew 28:18-20, and is covered by the instruction in Acts 1:8 to witness concerning the kingdom of God.
Ordained of God. Under the terms of the everlasting covenant Christ was to accomplish man’s salvation. This makes it fitting that He also should be the judge of men, in complete fulfillment of the covenant.
Quick. That is, “living.” Paul agrees with Peter in connecting the resurrection with the assurance that He who had risen was to be the future judge of all men. The fact that Jesus was a man, and yet a man who was victorious over sin and death, and the further fact that at the same time He was God, the author of the law by which men are judged, make Him the logical and rightful one to be the judge of all men.
