I'll show you what I got

Acts 3: 4-6
4 Peter and John looked at him intently, and Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 The lame man looked at them eagerly, expecting some money. 6 But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene,[a] get up and[b] walk!”


Peter was always very out spoken. From telling Jesus He would never betraying Him. To betraying Him 3 times and cutting someones ear off. He is passionate and innovative. I believe this is why God made Peter the Rock of the church. Jesus knew that once Peter grabbed hold of the truth He would run with it and never let it go.

Peter was offering this man a new start at life. Peter gave Him everything He had. Peter gave the man Jesus. What a gift:)

  1. This is actually one of my favorite scriptures! I love your take on Peter too. He definately ran with the Gospel, didn't he? Great Devotional today!
