Acts 3:5 (KJV) Be Bold!

Acts 3:5 (KJV)
And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

The world is filled with people that expect to receive something from preachers, ministers, and houses of worship. The trouble is that many of those involved in the ministry have come to look for ways to give seekers what they expect rather than what God has given us.

I cannot know what material resources Peter and John may have had at this point in their lives. Though they were never wealthy, so far as I can tell, they were men of means. That they said “silver and gold have I none” doesn’t mean they were as financially destitute as the lame man had been. It does mean they saw themselves as incapable of providing for this man’s need in their flesh. 

They never suggested giving him food. They did not offer to teach him to fish. At no time did they consider digging him a well or building him a tiny house. They gave him the thing he would not have expected.

We can give people the same, if we but believe it is of value to give. We can give them Jesus, and we can give them a walk with Christ. If they are happy enough to receive that, and if we are bold enough to offer it, we might change this world.
