What does the resurrected Christ offer? - Acts 3:11-16 sermon | Anglican Church Prescott

Come ye weary hearted

Text: Acts 3:11-16

In the second of Peter's sermons, we hear another incredible gospel proclamation as people are amazed by the healing of the lame man. Yet again, he reveals the people's sin and shows them that Jesus is the one who can take it away. But it is particularly poignant that Peter makes sure the people know that the healing doesn't happen because of his or John's power or piety.

It is in Christ alone that we find healing from our sin, from the strife we have with the world, and in our deepest distress. The invitation from Peter is clear: if you're sick with sin, weary from the world, and feel alone and sorrowful, Christ is the way to find healing and abide richly in Him.
