An All-The-Way God

Last time I talked about the lame man healed at the Gate Beautiful in Acts 3, and how his leaping up demonstrated his faith. There's one other thing that this says to me--it tells me that our God doesn't do things half-way. God didn't heal this man over several months, weeks or days. The man didn't get a tingling sensation in his toes, that gradually spread throughout his legs, that turned into full-fledged feeling, that allowed him to perform a year of physical therapy to develop the muscles.... No, God immediately gave the man full power in his previously lame legs. There was no in-between time, and there was no in-between result. The lame man had no limp or gimp--he leaped and ran, because God isn't a half-way God.
