Why Look on Us? | Acts 3:11-16 | Pastor Drew Rowley

After healing the lame man at the Beautiful Gate, Peter and John suddenly found themselves surrounded by a crowd looking for answers. But instead of accepting the attention, Peter immediately redirected every eye to Jesus Christ.

In this message from Acts 3:11–16, we see that the miracle was never about Peter or John—it was about the risen Savior. Peter refused to take credit for what only Christ could do and boldly proclaimed that the same Jesus whom Israel rejected, crucified, and God raised from the dead was the One who had made the man whole.

As believers, we are called to do the same. Every answered prayer, every transformed life, and every opportunity God gives us should point people away from us and toward Jesus. Our lives are not meant to display our greatness, but His.

If this message encourages you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share so more people can hear the life-changing truth of God's Word.

Key Points:
– Living as a witness means using every opportunity God gives us to turn people’s attention toward Jesus.
– What God does in our lives can open the door for others to listen, but we must be ready to tell them who did it.
– Our witness should never draw attention to us. It should always point people to Jesus.
– It was the miracle that got their attention, but it was the truth about Jesus that could change their lives.
– Faith placed in the person, authority, and power of Jesus Christ has the power to make a helpless life whole.

Whether you've followed Christ for years or you're just beginning to explore the Bible, this study reminds us that the greatest testimony we can give is pointing others to Jesus. May our lives consistently direct people to the only One who has the power to save, restore, and transform.
