When Peter was in a town called Lydda, he met a man named Aeneas who had been bedridden for eight years. In Jesus’s name, Peter healed Aeneas, and he got out of bed! Everyone who saw Aeneas believed in Jesus. Then two men from Joppa came and asked Peter to revive their friend Tabitha, who had died, and Peter went and raised her from the dead. The message of one person’s faith inspired others to believe, and it still does today.
All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
Many people turned to Jesus after witnessing the miracles of healing and resurrection. Why do you think God gave the apostles power to perform miracles?
Write about or record a story about a time that God did something good for you. If you want, ask a parent to help you find a way to share your story with others.
God, thank You for giving us stories of other people’s faith to help us build our own. Amen.
