Peter Speaks in Solomon's Portico
Acts 3: 11-21
Utterly astounded.
The people couldn't believe
the healing of the lame beggar.
Peter grabbed this opportunity to speak to the people
that the power to do this healing was by the name of Jesus.
Solomon's porch, so called from a tradition that it was a relic
of Solomon's temple left standing after the destruction of Jerusalem
by the Babylonians. (1 Kings 7:6.)
The word "porch" is in the New Testament
the rendering of the Greek word: por'-ti-ko- Stoa,
meaning a portico or veranda.
When we visit the Temple Mount on our trips to Israel,
we can be close to this area.
This lame beggar was someone they had known for a long time.
Now he stood before them healed.
They were witnesses to this miracle.
Just like the disciples were witnesses of the alive again Jesus.
Peter asks them to repent and turn back
that their sins would be blotted out.
This would bring a time of refreshment
from the presence of the Lord.
What have I forgotten that I have been
eye witness to in my life?
Time to take a bit of inventory
about what I have seen and heard.
