Today: [Acts 03:] The Man at the Gate Beautiful. In Acts 3 we find Peter and John (the original odd couple) producing a miracle upon a man who was crippled his entire life. Why didn’t Jesus heal this man in times past? Doubtless, Jesus had seen this person many times as he went in and out of the temple. What was the response of the crowd to what happened? How did Peter and John respond? In all of this, we find many lessons that will help us close the gap between the New Testament demonstration of power and our own seeming powerlessness.
