Okay, humor me for just a second and imagine you didn’t know any context for this scripture:
“There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.” (Acts 5:16)
If I hadn’t posted that this scripture was in the book of Acts, who would you have thought this was referring to?
This man that people traveled from near and far to visit, with hopes of being healed?
And he healed them ALL?
It sounds a lot like Jesus Christ.
But, surprise… it’s Peter!
Peter did EXACTLY what the Savior would have done if He was on the earth in that situation.
Food for thought:
Wouldn’t it be cool if someone described your actions, and others could identify it as being EXACTLY what the Savior would have done in that situation?
I think that’s a new goal of mine.
I’m not going to always get it right, of course.
Some descriptions of my actions will still totally be “me.”
But I think that as I study the Savior’s life more and more, I can have more moments where I’m right in sync with Jesus.
Just like Peter was.
Happy Studying!
