Daily Bible Reading Day 170

Nehemiah 7-8; Acts 3.  The wall is finished. Nehemiah gathers the people to read the original genealogy of those who came back with Zerubbabel. This connects the current generation with the generation who originally came back from captivity in Babylon.

The Ezra reads from the Law of Moses. While he reads the priests and Levites filter among the people and explain the meaning the of what was being read. This reading connects the current generation n with the original generation that came out of Egypt and received the Law through Moses at Mount Sinai. 

Peter and John go up to the temple at the hour of prayer. There is a man who was lame begging at the temple. Peter heals the man. He gets up and clings to them. The people are amazed. Peter tells them that they shouldn't be amazed because the man was healed by Peter's power but through faith (Peter's faith) n Jesus who was raised from the dead. Jesus' resurrection was to fulfill the promises God made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
