What does it mean for God to send the Christ?

Acts 3:20 (ESV)

20 that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus,

The sending of Jesus refers either to his future return in glory, in which case repentance and faith serves to speed his coming (see 2 Peter 3:12). Alternatively, and more likely, it refers to the proclamation of the good news about Jesus through the apostles.1
