Understanding Repentance and Forgiveness

Luke 24:44-47   
44 Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. 46 Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

What Jesus spoke before death is in the Gospels - and so much more from the Old Testament; the entire Bible is God's word that Jesus fulfilled, but we need understanding from Him to see who He is and how He planned already to suffer, die, and rise again 3 days later. He since then tells us to tell others in every country and race and language to repent and be completely forgiven in Christ alone. The good news began in Genesis and ends in Him.
