Rejected but Supremely Powerful

Acts 4:8-11

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: 'Rulers and elders of the people! If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: it is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. Jesus is 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone' " (NIVUK)

Peter was being interrogated about the healing of a lame beggar (Acts 4:5-7). The top religious leaders feared that a renewed interest in Jesus, whom they had crucified, threatened their position of power (John 11:48). So, they ordered Peter to admit who gave him, and John, the authority to heal. Although the clerics postured that they were in control, God was giving the apostles yet another opportunity to explain that Jesus is Lord. Peter then explained that the once-crucified Jesus was alive again and still had power to change people's lives.
