Lesson 4612

 (Lesson 4612)(09-19-24) Acts 5:12-16 

   “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 that the apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and the believers gathered around them regularly. Although some people feared to join them, others esteemed them highly, and more believers were continually added to the church. The sick were brought from the whole region to be healed. This lesson demonstrates the power and influence of the early church. ~
