Learning to live after our mistakes
Acts 3.12-19After a lame man was healed, people were astonished. Peter asks the crowds ‘Why?’ He explains that Jesus is the long-promised Messiah, rejected and killed but raised from the dead by God. And it is through Jesus that the man was healed. Citing Moses and the prophets, he calls the people to repent of their sins – including failing to recognise Jesus – and to know the refreshing presence of Jesus in their lives.
Failing is not always a bad thing; it can make us want to learn and improve. As Edison famously said about inventing the light bulb, ‘I have not failed 10,000 times – I’ve successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work.’ How do we respond to our mistakes? Do we learn to live better lives as a consequence?
