What are Signs? They are miracles with a message. It pointed to something. The miracle comes with a message and we see the same here. This miracle pointed to the power of Jesus. There is no effort to encourage people to experience their own miracle nor are we encouraged to ask for the gift of healing. In fact, there is a surprising lack of focus on the miracle — it became the occasion to preach about Jesus Christ. The miracle happened in the name of Jesus (vv. 6, 16) and Peter focuses on Jesus’ death and resurrection. The resurrected Lord healed this man! That is what “his name” means — the name represents the person behind the name. It is not a magical name but represents everything about the person the name signifies. I. Jesus can change anyone’s life. II. We are called to repent of our response to Jesus (v. 19). III. Jesus offers three things if we repent (vv. 19-21).
