Healing

Early in Acts of the Apostles, Peter cures a man who cannot walk.  Many people flock to Peter and begin to believe that Jesus is alive, Risen, as we say.  But...to believe in Jesus because of miracles is not the same as following Jesus.  In his earthly life, Jesus did do some healing, but he did a lot of teaching about how to live our lives.  Our belief has to go beyond believing "in" Jesus as Risen.  That is a start.  Now we have to follow him, to live as he lived and taught us to live.  To believe that Jesus is Risen, but to ignore his teachings, seems to miss the point of Incarnation, Crucifixion and Resurrection.
