Peter and John then heal a man. Consider how far the church leadership has come in just a couple of days! They were hiding and waiting for power to come. Now that God has sent His Spirit, the leaders are out in public and bold enough to heal like Jesus did. They learned from Him and now are implementing what they learned to do!

Peter goes on the share the Good News (Gospel) of Jesus again in chapter 3. This time it is in the place called Solomon’s Portico. This is a very visible place and this will lead to some trouble for them!

Before we deal with the trouble in chapter 4, check out some of the main tenets of Peter’s presentation of the Gospel. God glorified Jesus by raising Him from the dead! While you (in your face) killed Him, grace remains a possibility for you all! Turn from your wickedness and accept the gift He offers!

While I don’t recommend this particular approach in every setting, here with those that actually killed Jesus, this would be an amazingly powerful way to talk about Jesus!
