When God Decides to Heal

b"In this message, Pastor Lucas uses the passage of the healing of the lame man in Acts 3 and 4 to higlight the purpose of miracles. Jesus used Peter to heal a man lame for 40 years, but the point of this miracle was not to show Christianity to be an awesome up-and-coming religion, but to point to Christ. This is illustrated by Peter's immediate address to the crowd that not only pointed to Jesus being the source of the miracle, but the peoples' need for a Savior. We as Christians must remember to put Christ in the center of the gospel, and not healings, which only serve to point to Christ."
