"And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch. And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them. And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.) Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them. There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one."
Today's quote relates the first time women are mentioned as being added having been added to, or made a part of, the Church. "And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.
This lesson also tells us of the great faith that was demonstrated by the masses of people as they placed their faith in Christ and came to be have their illnesses healed and their sins forgiven.
Wouldn't it be a wonderful revival if today the true Church were so widely respected, and accepted, so as to have thousands of people stream in daily to hear of the saving grace of God and to take part in the miracle of eternal salvation?~
