Dead Prophets or Living Saviour

Acts 2:29-32

'Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day. But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne. Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay. God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it.' (NIVUK)

However great a person may be, everyone has a great weakness: they all die. We may honour the memory of dead prophets, but we cannot have any relationship with them. Great people have another weakness; they cannot see the future. They may guess; but cannot see. David was both a king and a prophet (speaking to the people about what God had said to him) and he died; but in these verses Peter says that David also saw Jesus and what would happen to Him, His death and resurrection, in the future.
