Commentary on Acts 3:25
Theological / DevotionalChildren of the prophets. The prophets, with their messages, were sent especially to the Israelites (see Rom. 3:2).
Of the covenant. Here Peter identifies the Abrahamic covenant (Gen. 12:3) with the covenant of salvation in the same way as does Paul (Gal. 3:8). In spite of the spiritual light and privileges the Jews enjoyed, they failed to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. In every age, and particularly now, those who enjoy special spiritual privileges may be guilty of the same failure.
In thy seed. Referring to Gen. 12:3, Paul makes Christ the “seed,” and all the faithful in Christ heirs of Abraham (Gal. 3:16, 29). Peter’s use of the passage is not so explicit, but in quoting it he plainly refers it to Christ.
