THE FOURTH EVENING JESUS “THE REDEEMER” A. Is it true that the Christians believe that the coming of Jesus is to redeem sins? B. It is so. A. Where is it mentioned? B. In Acts 5:31. A. Please read it to me. B. It says: “Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.” A. These words were said by Peter, not by Jesus, and are not revelation from God. B. But in Luke 2:10 and 11 it also says so. A. Please read it. B. It says: “And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” A. According to the verse to whom did the angel speak? B. In Luke 2:8 and 9 it is mentioned that the angel spoke to the shepherds who were tending their flocks at night. A. There is no information indicating that the speaker was an angel and there was no statement from the shepherds about this event.
