Study 06 From The book of Acts Is: Acts 3:1-26
1. The
cripple’s physical cure (verses 1-11) is a picture of the spiritual truths of
the gospel of salvation. Note how it shows (a) man’s need, (b) the necessity of
faith, (c) the importance of personal witness, (d) the assurance of salvation,
(e) the miracle of salvation itself. (Peter explains how it happened in verses
12-16.) Have you been the link between Christ and a person in need as Peter was
that day?
2. In
addressing the people of his own nation, what sins does Peter charge against them?
What promises does he make to them and on what conditions? How far are his
words applicable to us who are not Jews?
Notes
1. Verse
6 ‘in the name of Jesus’ means ‘by the authority’ ‘with the power’ of Jesus. Cf. verse 16:4-12.
2. Verses
13, 26. ‘Servant’: cf. Is. 52:13
(also 42:1-4; 49:5, 6; 50:1-10). Peter
is making a fearless proclamation of the Lord’s Messiahship. Cf. 4:27, 30
