Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.
Acts 3:1-10

At busy intersections in cities today, we can sometimes see people holding signs asking for food or money. Sometimes I wonder if they are truthful about their situation, we all know what happens when we come across them. We usually avoid making eye contact. We avoid seeing them.

Peter did not avoid making eye contact. Peter looked straight at the man who was lame and even asked him to look at him and John. Expect­ing some coins of silver or gold, the man looked up. Peter’s next words would have been discouraging to a person begging: “Silver or gold I do not have. . . .” But then came words of healing “in the name of Jesus Christ,” and, beyond his wildest dreams, the man was able to walk and jump for joy.

What are people getting from you when you look at them?
