*DAILY DEW 17/APRIL/2025* *WHY LOOK YE SO EARNESTLY ON US* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?"* (Acts 3: 12 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Context and Lesson_ The context of Acts 3:12 is the healing of a lame man at the temple gate by Peter and John (Acts 3:1-10). When the crowd gathers in amazement, Peter seizes the opportunity to preach, redirecting their attention from himself and John to the true source of the miracle: Jesus Christ. _Redirecting Attention_ Peter's response emphasizes that the healing was not due to their own power or holiness but rather God's power working through Jesus Christ. This redirection of attention highlights the importance of pointing people to Jesus and the Gospel, rather than seeking to draw attention to oneself. _Seizing Opportunities_ This verse demonstrates Peter's willingness to seize opportunities to preach and share the Gospel. By using the miraculous healing as a teaching moment, Peter effectively communicates the message of salvation and glorifies Jesus Christ. This incident serves as a model for believers to recognize opportunities to share their faith and point others to Jesus. _MEDITATION:_ *"RECOGNIZE opportunities to preach using your wins, testimonies, miracles and achievements as a 'pulpit' for preaching Christ!"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_APRIL,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
