Acts 3:19

When Peter healed the lame beggar, the people were amazed. But Peter wanted them, and us, to know that this healing is available to all. For the man’s deliverance came through the name of Jesus Christ, the name above all others. Believing in His name and authority, can heal every affliction in our souls. Because when return to the Lord in confession and repentance, He is faithful to both heal and restore us back to Himself. And we too will experience times of refreshing and will rejoice in His salvation.

Acts 5:31

Of all the people on the earth, God chose Israel to be His own. And from His people, He would raise up a Savior to save the world. From the beginning, Jesus knew that when He came, He would be shunned, rejected, and killed in the most horrible way. Yet He came all same. Christ left His exalted position at the Father’s side to redeem not only Israel, but all who would put their faith and trust in Him. At the Cross where He was nailed, with His precious blood, He paid in full the sin debt of the world.

Acts 20:35

We’ve all heard the old adage that it’s better to give than receive. Why? Because that’s when we truly exemplify the very nature of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
