“There Is None Other!”

(A Message to the Multitude)

(Preached Sunday Morning, June 21, 2020)

“This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

(Acts 4:11-12)

When were these words spoken?

“We have with an abundant satisfaction seen the foundation of our holy religion laid in the history of our blessed Saviour, it’s great author, which was related and left upon record by four several inspired writers, who all agree in this sacred truth, and the incontestable proof of it, that jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Upon the rock the Christian church is built. How it began to be built upon this rock comes next to be related in this book … The Acts of the Apostles.” (Matthew Henry’ Commentary on the Whole Bible, Volume 6: Acts to Revelation, page 2, Hendrickson Publishers)

Who spoke these words?

“Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, now begins his third sermon. … Healing, tongues, the church, the Spirit of God, even God the Father Himself is not the point of contact with sinful man. Jesus Christ alone is the One by whom salvation comes to mankind.” (Liberty Bible Commentary, editors: Jerry Falwell, Edward E. Hindson, et. al., pg. 2136, Old Time Gospel Hour, 1983)

Whom were these words spoken to?

“They spoke with so much power and authority that the whole sanhedrin was confounded. He who is taught in spiritual matters by Christ Jesus has a better gift than the tongue of the learned.” (Adam Clarke’s Commentary, Volume 1, Matthew – Revelation, pg. 710)

I. The Stone

“This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:11-12)

“This is the stone…

“Which was set at nought of you builders…

“Which is become the head of the corner.”

“Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?” (Matthew 21:42)

II. None Other

“This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:11-12)
