Acts 3:20 Context
18But those things which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his Prophets, that Christ should suffer, hee hath so fulfilled. 19¶ Repent yee therefore, and bee conuerted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shal come from the presence of the Lord. 20And hee shall send Iesus Christ, which before was preached vnto you. 21Whom the heauen must receiue, vntill the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy Prophets since the world began. 22For Moses truely said vnto the fathers, A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise vp vnto you of your brethren, like vnto me; him shall yee heare in all things whatsoeuer he shal say vnto you.

People's Bible Notes for Acts 3:20
Ac 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ. Again we have to turn to the Revised Version for the meaning: "And that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, [even] Jesus". The great hope of the Jews was the Messiah. He had come, been rejected, and had returned to heaven. His return will be prepared for by repentance, and turning to the Lord. The blotting out of sins, the seasons of refreshing, and the return of Christ are all, in some measure, dependent on their repentance and turning. The Christ appointed is even Jesus, the crucified One.
