v2 – who are these kind people unnamed people to the crippled beggar – “People would lay him daily at the gate of the temple called the Beautiful Gate so that he could ask for alms from those entering the temple”
… on second thought, I wonder if they were using him to beg for money, or take a cut, after all, what could he do with the money he collected anyways?
Peter – asks the beggar to “look at us” – sounds awfully demanding in one way, but could also be the deepest way of acknowledging each others humanity with direct eye contact.
Where does Peter get the boldness to act out such miracles – that really are not from his own strength?
“You killed the Author of life” – how ironic and tragic.
What are these “times of refreshing that come from the presence of the Lord” that he speaks of?
“Jesus, who must remain in heaven until the time of universal restoration that God announced long ago through his holy prophets”
- two thoughts on this – If I was Jesus no one would be telling me where I must remain
- secondly – could universal restoration actually include – everything – human, creature, object, etc?
