Acts 3:5-8 And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. (6) But Peter said, "I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!" (7) And he took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were made strong. (8) And leaping up he stood and began to walk, and entered the temple with them, walking and leaping and praising God.
What is the greatest need of a lame begger outside the temple in Jerusalem? Money? The ability to walk? How about the ability to walk into the presence of God? Yes this was his greatest need, though he didn't know it at the time. But there was a witness there (Peter) who did. Many around us don't know what their greatest need it. Can we who know Jesus meet that need?
