Episode 53: Acts 3 Seize the Opportunity

Acts 3 starts off with the healing of the lame man. On a daily basis this man was brought by someone, perhaps his family, in order to beg for money. With the hundreds of people that would be walking through the gate of the temple to worship, his chances of collecting some money were great! Peter and John decided to go to the 3 o'clock prayer meeting at the temple but they never made it. They saw the lame man as they were walking by and he asked them for some money but what he received was far greater! Peter reaches down and grabs his arm, helps him to his feet, and instantly this man who was paralyzed since birth was able to stand on his feet, walk, and then leaping praising God! People saw it and a crowd gathered to see what had just taken place. Peter seized the opportunity and shared Jesus.
