YOU CAN MAKE A REAL CROSS-OVER IN YOUR LIFE
ACTS 3
JESUS CHRIST impacted the lives of His contemporaries and can
influence yours constructively also. Peter is Exhibit A.
Peter and John were on their way to the Temple to pray, as was
their custom. Jews did this three times a day: 9:00 AM, 12:00

They were confronted by a lame beggar to whom they responded. A

confused over God's working through human beings. They tend to

religious piety. Peter said it was neither. God did it.
For the first time since the resurrection, Peter uses the word
"faith" (3:16). It was faith that affected the healing.
In A.D. 1260, Thomas Aquinas was shown around the Vatican by
Pope Innocent IV, who delighted to show him the wealth of the
papacy. After the tour the Pope said, "So you see, good Thomas,
unlike the first pope, I cannot say, 'Silver and gold have I
none.'" Aquinas quietly nodded affirmation and softly said, "And
neither can you say, 'In the ...
