"You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see." Acts 3:15-16.

Peter is really laying into the crowd who just witnessed the miraculous healing of a lame beggar. He wants them to understand the significance of what just happened. It was more than a miracle. It was an unmistakable declaration that Jesus, the one they killed, is the "Author of Life", and Faith in Him is what was on display.

When God does amazing things, and I get to testify about them, it should always be about Jesus. I sometimes get more excited about what He's done than the "why"!

Dear Lord, may I always be so captivated by you that my first inclination is to point out the spiritually obvious to any who might hear: Jesus is the one who did this, so that they might come to faith.
