The healed lame man (see Lesson 9) was not only immediately very public about his over-flowing joy, but also about his praise to God and his thankfulness to the men the Lord used to perform his miracle. Those men were Peter and John. The Apostolic sign-miracle was divinely orchestrated to draw a large, very willing-to-listen crowd to whom Peter than had an opportunity to preach "The Second Church Sermon. The theme of the first sermon was that God made Jesus Who Israel had crucified both Lord and Christ (2:36). The theme of this second sermon was the God wanted to bless the people through His Son Jesus by turning them from your iniquities (3:26).
In just seven verses, Peter again yielded his new sword (the Word of God), under the leading of the Spirit, to exalt the name of Jesus. He referred to Jesus as "the Holy One," "the Just," "the Prince of life," "Christ," and a Prophet of the Lord like unto Moses. The sermon was Christ-centered, Scriptural, highly theological, bold yet compassionately confrontational, and applicational. Peter's sermon was only seven verses long because it was interrupted by the sudden appearance of the priests with the captain of the Temple guard and the Sadducees. They came collectively to arrest both Peter and John (and maybe even the former lame man with them).
