Intro: The Holy Spirit (in the form of fire) is spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.
I.
A Burning Illustration (1-10)
A. The Spirit’s Opportunity (1-3)
There were nine gates that led from the court of the Gentiles into the temple itself.
Scholars are not agreed, but the Beautiful Gate was probably the “Eastern Gate” that led into the court of the women.
Made of Corinthian bronze, the gate looked like gold; and it certainly was a choice place for a lame man to beg.
B. The Spirit’s Power (4-7)
A witty old preacher said, “The crippled beggar asked for alms and he got legs.”
C. The Spirit’s Joy (8-10)
Illustration of salvation:
lame — unable to walk in a pleasing way with God
poor — bankrupt sinners before God, unable to pay your sin debt before God
outside the temple — separated from the presence of God
healed — by the grace of God and made whole.
