2. The Day of Salvation

3. A Day of Healing (3:1-11)
Lame man did not expect what he received, 3:1-7 (40+ years old, Acts 4:22).
Consider things for which we beg:
Freedom of the world … bondage of sin
Everything others have … covetousness
Recognition from others … pride
How often do we beg for:
Truth? Forgiveness? Contented godliness?

He knew its value and thanked God
We must know value of spiritual healing and praise God. cf. Luke 7:47-48
