The indications are that asom® months had elapsed since Pentecost. The believers were being taught by th® apostles who were showing their cre dentials by their mighty works (Acts 2:43). I. The Lame Man Healed (v. 1-11). 1. The Occasion (v. 1). Peter and John were going to th® house of worship. They were friends who mere mutual complements—each having that which the other lacked. This fellowship was according to th® Lord’s own arrangment and was most fitting. They were going up to Jeru salem to worship, though they knew full well the corruption of Judaism. 2. The Place (v. 2). It was at the gate which leads from the outer to the Inner court of th® temple. It was called beautiful be cause of its.magnificent bronze doors. 1 ids man was placed at the entrance to the place of worship because when a man comes closest to God he also comes closest to his fellowmen. 3. The Man (vv. 2-3). This beggar was infirm from hi® birth. He was a familiar figure, known by the people for years. When he saw Peter and John he asked alms. 4. The Method (vv. 4-8). (1J Gained the Man’s Attention (▼. 4). Peter and John commanded him to look on them. The sinner’s atten tion intist be secured before Christ can heal him. Having secured his at tention they gave him more than lis asked or expected. He asked for money and got healing. (2) Peter Coimmmded Him in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to rise up and walk (v. 6). This was the ’.ery thing lie was tinable to do fnr~!?g GR :\ND OPERA Atlanta, Ga.

With, the com mand went the ability to do. (3) Peter Took Him by the Right Hand (v. 7). This act was meant to give impetus to his faith, not strength to his ankles. 5. Tlie Man’s Response (v. 8). Strength came to his feet and ankl® bones at once. He stood; he walked; he leaped and sluuted praises to God. He thoroughly advertised the miracle. He ascribed the honor to God for his healing, and walked into the house of God. 6. The Effect (vv. 9-11). The people were filled with wonder and amazement. The multitude ran together to see this remarkable tldng. There was no question as to the genu ineness of the miracle for this man had been a familiar figure for many years. It was evident that something supernatural had occurred. (1) The helpless beggar had to he carried to the temple gate. Men and vvomen out of Christ are spiritually helpless. We should bring sinners to Christ. (2) Taking him by the. hand show® the manner of Christian help. Minis ters of Christ may not have silver or gold, but have something Infinitely bet ter to give. II. Peter Witnessed of Jesus Before ♦he Multitude (vv. 12-26). This miracle focused the attention of tJjje people upon Peter and John, i Peter immediately turned their atten tion from himself to Christ. Peter seized the opportunity to present Christ to the people who had assem bled. He told them that it was by faith In Jesus Christ whom the God of their fathers had glorified, whom they had delivered up and denied before Pilate when he desired to set Him free, and had desired a murderer to be granted to them instead. He showed that the disciples were also witnesses* that God had raised Jesus from the dead, and charged home upon them their awful guilt; for they had denied the Holy one and chosen Rarabbas, a murderer r Instead of Christ, and even killed tiie Prince of Life. Despite their crime he appealed to them to re pent (v. 19). Since they had commit ted this awful crime In Ignorance, God would pardon their sin If they would repent, and he assured them that they j should yet enjoy refreshing seasons from the Lord when God would send hack. Jesus Christ to earth to consum mate the work of redemption. 2 2 PJ UJ E E a a a a a a a 1 a a a a a a a a a Savings Plus Insurance Our Association is glad to announce that a new feature is being added with our new Series “P” beginning April 15th, through which you need not have the fear of “If I Live. ,> You can through this feature r insure the unpaid portion of your building and loan stock, so that should you die before it matures the full amount will be paid immediately to your es tate, thus providing for your loved ones as though you had lived and saved the par value of your stock.
