—Acts 3:11-16

This man, excluded from religious ceremonies and celebrations, suddenly found himself “normal.” How did he react? He hugged Peter and John! As he hugged them in joy, the crowds came running to see for themselves. They were astonished.
It didn’t take Peter long to see that he had an audience, and he began preaching. “Why are you so surprised?” he asked. “We’re not responsible for this. It was God who healed this beggar, to glorify Jesus, the one you handed over for execution. But God raised him to life again, and that’s who healed him.”
