Acts chapter 3 gets right to the point, short and sweet. Peter, with John in tow, continues to amaze as he heals a man who was "crippled from birth". This act of love gets them all kinds of attention and provides Peter another opportunity to deliver a killer speech, as he proceeds to explain how their faith in the name of Jesus is responsible for the healing.
I especially like verse 19, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord". That sounds like a good deal to me - I like having my sins wiped out while enjoying times of refreshing. Sign me up for that.
I wonder if Peter knew what would go down when he made the decision to heal that beggar. We'll pick up the story in chapter 4 next week.
