Matthew 16:22; Mark 8:31; 14:66-71; & John 18:10
Contrast Peter’s impetuous nature with his actions after Pentecost displayed in
Acts 3:11-16; 15-16; and 12:1-11.
Acts 2:43 states that “many wonders and signs were preformed through the apostles.” Why is the healing of the lame man in chapter three worthy of being singled out by Luke?
Read Luke 5:17-20. How does the healing of this lame man “fit” the theme of Acts, The continuing mission of Jesus through His Spirit-empowered Followers?
In Acts 3:21 Peter refers to “the times of the restoration of all things.” What insights do the following Scriptures provide about this “time”? Colossians 1:20; Isaiah 11:6-10; Ezekiel 34:26-30; and Revelation 19:1-10.
Luke refers to the healing of the lame man as a “sign” demonstrating the veracity of Peter’s message. How ought the fact that God has attested to His message with signs bolster the Christian’s confidence?
Read Romans 1:16. How the example of the boldness is exhibited by Peter and John an example for us to follow?
How has this study encouraged you to greater boldness in your prayer life and in youer witness for Jesus?
