Paul declared these glad tidings in the synagogue at Antioch in Pisidia on the Sabbath, after the reading of the law and the prophets, by tracing how the Lord had dealt with the Jews from deliverance from Egyptian bondage. The glad tidings is that the promise made to the fathers is fulfilled to their children and descendants in Jesus. Jesus is the promised Saviour, the Saviour of men.
He is the promised Son, of the seed and lineage of David, the Messiah foretold in prophecy. The fulfillment is that God raised Jesus from the dead for their children. The resurrection confirms Jesus as the promised Son and confirms the promises about the Messiah, as the one through whom the sure mercies promised to David are given.
He is both the glory of Israel and a light to the Gentiles, so that Gentiles enjoy religious privilege on equality with Jews and are recognized as children of God. The fulfillment brings salvation to Jew and Gentile alike.
