AMAZED

I just love this incident that is recored in the Scriptures.

Peter and John had gone to the temple to pray.  In the 

process a man who had been crippled more than forty

years was healed.

But, but, but.  They healed him by the power of God,

but with out the permission of the religious leaders.

So, they were called into court we would say.  And

in the court hearing we read the following:

“The members of the council were 

amazed when they saw the boldness 

of Peter and John, for they could see 

that they were ordinary men with no 

special training in the Scriptures.

They also recognized them as men 

who had been with Jesus.”  

(Acts 4:13,14 NLT)

The DRs, DDs, PHDs, Reverends etc. 

were amazed.

Those who had been with Jesus 

did the amazing. 

Over the years I have read much about the work of 

God around the world.  And one of the things that

amazes me is how often pure outright miracles are

performed for people whom we would consider 

plain simple uneducated people.  But they had simple

child like faith in Christ and simply took him at his

word.  Then God performed miracles for them in

response to their faith.

Let's spend our time with Jesus and let him help

us while the rest of the world gets smart and tries

to do it on their own.
