In the book of Acts, the Bible says that they brought sick people into the streets, they laid [them] on beds and couches (Acts 5:15). I've know some people who have couches on their porches, but honestly, I've never seen anyone lounging in the middle of the street! Why did they do such a silly thing? Because they hoped that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
They believed a shadow could heal! That is amazing! I looked up shadow in the dictionary and it means "shade caused by the interception of light". A shadow isn't possible unless it intercepts with the LIGHT! Why could Peter's shadow heal? Because the presence of God was in his shadow!
When light intercepts with a need, healing occurs.
If you have a cold others can "catch" communicable diseases from you without even realizing they are around sickness. Likewise, when you become a carrier of the presence of God, you become contagious.
People sneeze and we're afraid of getting what they have. Why do we think we can only get the bad stuff? If we can catch invisible things that are bad, why can't we catch invisible things that are good?
The New Testament is full of extremely weird...
