1/28/09 Acts 3

In Acts 3, John and Peter were going to the temple and they ran into a crippled person.  Acts 3 tells us how Peter cured this crippled person.  When this crippled person was coming up to Peter and John, he was only wanting little money.  This crippled person wasn't expecting acything except something that was very little.  However, Peter told the crippled person "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you.  In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."  and this crippled person was able to walk.  

When I read about this passage, it makes me think about myself.  I feel like this crippled person is me.  When I was reaching out to Church, I wasn't expecting my faith to grow or believe in God.  I just followed my parents and my friends without any expectation of salvation.  However, Jesus granted me a chance to know about him and gave myself salvation even though I wasn't expecting at all.
