Healing A Lame man: Peter hears the man Every day was the same for the disabled man. In those days disabled people couldn’t get jobs, so they had to beg. The man’s friends would come and carry him to the Beautiful Gate of the temple so that he would be ready when worshippers went inside to pray.

But he was disappointed. “We don’t have any money, ” Peter told the man.

Healing A lame Man : Peter heals the man But then Peter said “We will give you what we do have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk”. The man had never been able to walk.

Healing A lame Man : Peter talks to the crowd Peter took the opportunity to speak about Jesus. Peter said to them “It was God’s power that healed this man. He is the same God your families have worshipped for many years. Remember – God’s Son, Jesus lived among you. You turned away from him and had him killed. But God raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

Healing A lame Man : Peter talks to the crowd What a wonderful day it had been. Even though Jesus had gone back to heaven he could still use his power. The man who had been disabled all his life could walk, jump and praise God. Because of this, Peter told people about the Lord Jesus and many believed in him. Here is a song which reminds us of this amazing event. Afterwards you could draw a picture of something God has done for you. God Bless you as you get back to school ‘properly’. In Him, Colin
