A Miracle for the Multitude Acts 3:11-24 . The Miracle that made them listen (vs. 11-16) • Was a sign that God was with the disciples • Was a sign that Power was theirs from up above • Was a sign given from the Holy Ghost used to gather a crowd for the preaching of the gospel. • Was a sign that God was at work in the life of the lame man. Note: The Holy Spirit uses signs and wonders to draw people unto Himself. The preaching of the gospel always followed the miracles of our Lord. This should be our practice today, to move in faith and heal others that the gospel might be preached. . The Message in the miracle (vs.17-23) • Was a word from the Lord explaining the death of Christ • Was a word to the people explaining the reason for Christ death. • Was a word from the Lord explaining to the people what they must do as a result of their sins • Was a word from the Lord telling of the past, present and future meaning of Christ coming Note: The word of God is the only explanation given by God for the activity of God. God uses the word to His people and show His people what He is doing in the earth. God has not left us ignorant and without excuse to His plan in the earth. . The Meaning of the message (vs. 24-26) • God was revealing Himself to Israel through their Prophets of old. • God’s plan consisted of Jesus coming through Abraham to bless all nations • God‘s desire from the beginning was to wipe away the wickedness of man’s sin by sending His Servant Jesus. Note: The fulfillment of God’s word has come to pass and the promises of the prophecies in the scripture were made good through the sacrificial life of Christ. God has redeemed himself a people and Peter and John were preaching this powerful word. Table question: 1. What one thing from tonight’s lesson, catches your attention, and why? 2. Does God yet do miracles today to get others to believe? (give an example)
