Daily Walk Through the New Testament
September 16
Read Acts 3:11-4:12

Peter was the first to preach in Jesus’ name on the day of Pentecost, and he preached twice. While the Holy Spirit set the stage for the fireworks in the first sermon, Peter and John’s healing of a crippled man drew the crowd for his second message. Both times Peter spoke, his subject was the same: people can be saved by grace through faith alone. Jesus is the only way to heaven.
Jesus’ very name means “the Lord is salvation.” An angel of the Lord told Joseph to name Him Jesus, “for He will save His people from their sins (Matthew 1:21).
Because there is salvation in no one else, we must preach Jesus as dying men to dying people. Spread Peter’s message that Jesus Christ is the only hope for the world.
