Bible Survey: Part FourSample

Following Jesus' departure, it was important for Jesus' followers to be confirmed as legitimate representatives of the message Jesus taught. This was done by Peter performing miracles, like Jesus did. Peter was careful to point out that what he did was done through God's power and not his own. Christians can mess up in some big ways sometimes, but, like in this chapter, they can also accomplish some amazing things too. Miracles can happen like healings or changed lives and entire communities transformed, but these are done in God's power. It's important for Him to get the credit!
