Acts 3: Peter speaks in Solomon’s Portico

O:
Peter and john help the cripple man (Acts 3: 1)
everyone was shocked and came running to them
Peter questioned them why they were suprised and why they were thinking that peter and john were Gods
Paul speaks his frustration to the people
He tells the people that because of faith in jesus the crippled man was made strong
Because of him we a completely healed.
Peter tells the people that they need to repent, that they should no longer act like their rulers and be ignorant(to the man maybe?)
The lord gives warning to pay attention the prophets

I think its pretty important what peter says in this passage. In Christ we are not only healed by we are made strong. By having only faith in him we can be changed and saved, just like the crippled man. Peters calling for us to repent and no longer be ignorant is a convicting calling. We should never just be still, we should be constantly fighting for God.
