Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me

Good morning. So Peter and John are standing before the high priests. When they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, by what power, or in what name, have you done this? In other words, who said you could? They did not really care that a man was made whole. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them (remember that I said that when the Bible says someone was filled with the Holy Spirit that they usually said something afterwards),  Rulers and elders of the people. If we are on trial today for a benefit done to a sick man, as to how this man has been made well, let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead – by this name this man stands here before you in good health. In other words, you might’ve thought “you done away with Him”, but He is still on the scene and very active! He is the stone which was rejected by you, the builders, but which became the chief cornerstone. And then one of the most powerful verses in the Bible: and there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved. There is only one way to get saved – through the name of Jesus! Father thank You that it is through the name of Jesus that we have been saved. Help us to share that with those we come in contact with every day. Continue to give the reader and his/her family the wisdom of what to do. Prepare the way ahead of time for them to go.
