If we made a list together this morning of all the things that are wrong with this world right now it would be a very long list. The list would include sickness, poverty, betrayal, and murder in all their various forms. And those are only the problems mentioned in our text this morning.
This world needs to be restored. We long for "times of refreshing." Because we commit sins that devalue life we need forgiveness. And because of our skewed hearts we must be turned from our wickedness.
And that is exactly what Peter promises in his sermon. You and I can be healed of everything that is wrong with us. Peter uses the miraculous healing of a lame man as a sign of God's ancient promise to restore all things (21). He has sent a final prophet to reveal his way of healing. And if we do not listen to him we cannot be healed (23).
Lest you think that this refreshing cannot come to you, given the difficulty of your situation, Peter stresses that the healing of this lame man was a shocking miracle. And God can do the same for us today.
Healing, restoration, refreshing, miracle, preaching, salvation, repentance, grace, Jesus
