…why stare at us
as though we had made this man walk
by our own power or godliness?
For it is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—
the God of all our ancestors—
who has brought glory to his servant Jesus
by doing this…
Through faith in the name of Jesus,
this man was healed—
and you know how crippled he was before.
Faith in Jesus’ name has healed him
before your very eyes.
Acts 3:12-13, 16
Blessings of knowing the One who heals
…know for certain that God has made this Jesus,
whom you crucified,
to be both Lord and Messiah!
…you must repent of your sins and turn to God,
and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness of your sins.
Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
This promise is to you,
to your children,
and to those far away—
all who have been called by the Lord our God.
Acts 2:35, 38-39
God raised Jesus from the dead,
and we are all witnesses of this.
Now he is exalted
to the place of highest honor in heaven,
at God’s right hand.
And the Father,
as he had promised,
gave him the Holy Spirit to pour out upon us…
Acts 2:32-33
You have shown me the way of life,
and you will fill me with the joy of your presence.
Acts 2:28
I see that the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken,
for he is right beside me.
Acts 2:15
…listen!
God publicly endorsed Jesus the Nazarene
by doing powerful miracles,
wonders,
and signs through him…
But God knew what would happen,
and his prearranged plan was carried out
when Jesus was betrayed…
But God released him from the horrors of death
and raised him back to life,
for death could not keep him in its grip.
Acts 2:22-24
‘In the last days,’ God says,
‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your young men will see visions,
and your old men will dream dreams.
In those days I will pour out my Spirit
even on my servants—men and women alike—
and they will prophesy.
And I will cause wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below—
blood and fire and clouds of smoke.
The sun will become dark,
and the moon will turn blood red
before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives.
But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
will be saved.’
Acts 2:17-21
…you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.
And you will be my witnesses,
telling people about me everywhere…
…all the believers were meeting together
in one place.
Suddenly,
there was a sound from heaven
like the roaring of a mighty windstorm,
and it filled the house where they were sitting.
Then,
what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared
and settled on each of them.
And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit…
Acts 1:8; 2:1-4
Then Jesus told him,
“You believe because you have seen me.
Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.”
John 20:29
…Suddenly,
Jesus was standing there among them!
“Peace be with you,”
he said.
Again he said,
“Peace be with you”…
…suddenly,
as before,
Jesus was standing among them.
“Peace be with you,”
he said.
John 20:19, 21, 26
