Smart Students

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. 
-Benjamin Franklin

When a teacher is teaching  , some smart students 
Always love so much their teacher because
They want to be knowledgeable in their lives. 
You can ask yourselves some questions 
About the concern of Christ Jesus on Peter...
Why was He much connected to him? 
Why  Peter recognised Him and
He told him to keep it secretly? 
Why did Jesus leave the keys
To open the heavens to Peter? 
Why Peter was the first disciple who recognised 
The arrival of the Holy Spirit and reminded people
 about the promise of Christ Jesus? 

In the class of hundred students 
There always be two or three students 
Who want to be like their teacher. 
By surprise,  Peter succeeded to walk 
on the waters
while he was  still student 
In the college of Christ Jesus. 
When the apostles started to teach people , 
Peter astonished  some  people  
When he hold the hand 
of a  cripple  beggar 
By the door 
of the temple and
said to him,
 " in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth walk" 
The cripple from birth walked ,
 started to jump...
 jumping. 
Some demons- possessed people and 
different sick people were healed
by God through the shadow of Peter. 
In Samaria none had the Holy Spirit but
They had been baptized
 in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 
When Peter and John went there,
Then placed their hands upon them and 
They  received the Holy Spirit. 
A teacher is always happy when some students
focus on his teachings.
Imagine how happy Christ Jesus was 
When he was surrounded
by his disciples? 
Imagine how happy the apostles were 
When they started
doing some  things
Which their Teacher did?  

Every good biblical teacher
 " or  preacher" 
always be happy to hear some testimonies
of some transformed people here and there.
