1. The God of our fathers glorified Jesus (11-15)

When the crippled beggar began to jump and dance and praise God, all the people were astonished and a huge crowd soon assembled in Solomon's Colonnade. Peter told them why this man was walking. It was because of the name of Jesus. He preached the gospel to the crowd. He began by announcing that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob had glorified Jesus, whom they had handed over to be crucified--God raised Jesus from the dead! Peter rebuked them for killing the Author of life and releasing a murderer. He called them to repent.

2. By faith in the name of Jesus (16)

Then he pointed to the former cripple, now jumping and dancing with joy. This man was a living testimony to the resurrection power of Jesus' name. A changed life is the best evidence of the resurrection.

Application: Lord, work in me until my life becomes evidence that Jesus is alive. Give me courage to testify to the power of Jesus' name.
One Word: By faith in his name
