Healing and Resurrection Acts 9:32-43

The story picks up with two more miraculous events.  The first comes when Peter heals  a man named Aeneas who had been paralyzed.  Peter then travels to Joppa after fellow disciple Tabitha becomes ill and dies. Peter in a moment eerily similar to Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus raises Tabitha from the dead.  Again in Acts Luke has carefully paired  stories of  miracles  with the conversion of people.  For Luke, miracles seem to be more than just about healing someone. Miracles seem to be signs that point to the reign of God breaking into this world in such a way that people are amazed and are converted. 


Where have you seen the reign of God breaking in today?  Where have you been amazed by the presence of God?
