Knowing Jesus helps for eternity!

Acts3:1 Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of
prayer, the ninth *hour.* 2 And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb
was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called
Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple...6 Then Peter
said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” (NKJV)

There are times that people have a need and are not really sure what that
need is because they are lost in a dying world. Many people ask for money,
some have an honest need because of physical, emotional, or mental
problems. Some are swindlers or just lazy. Peter saw what a lame man really
needed, to be healed by the power of Jesus. Peter stopped what he was doing
and gave attention to someone that could give Peter nothing. How many times
are we given the opportunity, the honor and privilege of sharing the love
of Jesus and His healing power with others and just walk right on by them
because they are less fortunate. Silver and gold may help someones life
temporarily. Knowing Jesus, helps for eternity.
