The Gate Beautiful
Acts 3:8
And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.


I. THE CLOSE PROXIMITY OF PHYSICAL DEFORMITY TO NATURAL BEAUTY.

II. THE STRANGE ASSOCIATION OF SPIRITUAL RICHES WITH TEMPORAL POVERTY.

III. THE SCRIBES TRANSFORMATION OF POPULAR INDIFFERENCE INTO ABOUNDING AMAZEMENT. The gospel had been applied, put to the test, and had succeeded in a superhuman manner.

1. It had come into positive contact with poverty and suffering.

2. It had exalted the whole nature of the man.

3. It had set the man on a new course of life.

(F. W. Brown.)
