Peter and John...
It was during the 3 PM prayer that they went up to the temple.
...They saw a man begging there.
...Peter and John gazed intently at the man and said, "Look at us."

He expected to receive something.
...His expectations were high...
The man, too, looked at Peter and John as instructed. 🧐
...However, the words that came from Peter's lips were far from what the man expected. 😰
..."We have no silver or gold."
😱...The man must have been shocked!
But God's will was...
Rather than this man living forever by receiving grace from others...
His feet were healed, and he was able to work on his own and have his life transformed into a new one.
...The two men...
[In the name of Jesus]...prayed. 🛐
...His life, his future, even eternity—everything was renewed.

A life on his own two feet began, instead of being carried by others.
His heart was filled with praise for God.
...This is salvation through Christ.
...Shalom✌️😃
