Acts 4:4 (KJV)
Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
The miracle of the healing of the crippled man was undeniable.
- It was performed in a public place.
- It was performed upon a well-known figure.
- Its results were witnessed and verified by an entire temple full of unbiased persons.
- The chief priests and rulers admitted it could not be denied (vs. 16).
That the miracle got the attention of the people is obvious. But what I want to point out is that what Peter spoke about—and what caused the people to believe—was not the miracle, but Jesus Christ and His Word.
A man was healed, and for that, we praise God. But the 5,000 souls who were saved that day came to faith not by the miracle, not by the power and influence of Peter and John, but through the preaching of the Word of God.
Preach the Word!
