GOOD MORNING JESUS Acts 3:2-7 NLT Peter and John went to the Temple one afternoon to take part in the three o’clock prayer service. As they approached the Temple, a man lame from birth was being carried in. Each day he was put beside the Temple gate, the one called the Beautiful Gate, so he could beg from the people going into the Temple. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for some money. Peter and John looked at him intently, and Peter said, “Look at us!” The lame man looked at them eagerly, expecting some money. But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!” Then Peter took the lame man by the right hand and helped him up. And as he did, the man’s feet and ankles were instantly healed and strengthened. Just as every day before this, the man who has been lame since birth is carried up to the temple gate. Begging is how he survives, and my guess is that he has very little, if any hope. On this day though, instead of receiving money as assistance, he receives the ability to walk again. His life is forever changed, and it is changed because Peter, obedient to the Spirit of God, freely gives this man what he has been given. Call it a new lease on life, call it a second chance, call it a rebirth, call it healing the lame, or call it a miracle: whatever you label it could not have happened without the power of God working through Peter. The miracles coming through us is made possible by the One who is able to do the impossible in us and with us. The Pharisees are about to find out that the power of Christ is alive and well. Exercise this power through faith and direction of the Holy Spirit HAVE A BLESSED DAY
