2:31
So David knew that he was a prophet and was speaking of what was to come, so he was speaking of the resurrection of the Messiah, the One who would not be held by death and would not see decay. All the things that were prophesied will be fulfilled. Some have already been fulfilled, some are in the process of being fulfilled, or are continually being fulfilled, and some will be fulfilled.
2:32
“God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it.” The resurrection is a physical fact, it is no mere “spiritual resurrection”. And the disciples were witnessed to the resurrection, they had met the resurrected Jesus. As religion has declined in the West, the notion of a merely “spiritual resurrection” is perhaps less common in the church. There is now no value in being part of the church, indeed there is risk associated with it, unless the gospel is actually true (which it is!).
