Peter's speech includes two elements. In their centre are two Old Testament verses. They form a bridge between the two subjects of Judas's betrayal and the election of his replacement. It was symbolically important for the full complement of twelve eyewitnesses to be maintained at this formative stage in the kingdom. In this section, we draw out three characteristics of the people of God: being prayerful, trusting in the scriptures, and being witnesses for Christ.

Pastor Holland continues his look at our Lord's final Beatitude from the Sermon on the Mount: Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Christ, the faithful shepherd, leads his people through the problems of their remaining unbelief with a warning about the catastrophic consequences of terminal unbelief.

The healing of the blind man by Jesus sparked an electric trial instigated by the Pharisees. They have hardened their hearts against Jesus and do not see Him as the Messiah, but as a convoluted sinner. Consequently, they do everything within their might to dismiss the blind man's story and the miracle of Jesus. However, their attempts backfire and they are the ones who end up looking foolish and desperate.
