No PT...No Physical Therapy...

The man was crippled from birth. A forty year old beggar on the temple steps. He had his own spot there. Carried to the temple gate to beg for his living. All he expected or hoped for was a coin or two from Peter.

Peter had no money. But, he did have the power to heal in his hands. Immediate, instant healing. Acts 3
says that Peter pulled him up. 'In the name of Jesus, walk!' Not only did he walk. He jumped and danced.

To walk takes practice. Babies usually crawl or scoot first. Then pull themselves up and hold on to chairs or something. Then the first step. One or two, then a heap on the floor. Even a person who has walked before has shaky legs if they haven't walked for awhile. Many go through weeks or months of physical therapy. They practice learning to walk again. They do not go from 'crippled' to walking, jumping and dancing.

This was indeed a miracle. Jesus working through Peter. A changed life for the beggar. 

Been thinkin'... I'm a miracle too. Not as spectacular as the temple beggar. But Jesus has changed my life just the same. From a crippled unbeliever to a walking, jumping, dancing believer.  

The power of Jesus lives on today...
