Note 1 at Acts 3:12: The miraculous intervention of God should always bless us but it should not surprise us. God never intended for man to live independent of Him and His miraculous power. That was man's choice. When a person comes back into relationship with the Lord through the new birth, he should expect to see the supernatural power of God manifest in his everyday life to such a degree that he could say with Peter, "why marvel ye at this?" Any perspective other than this reveals a hard heart (see note 10 at Mk. 6:52, p. 238).
