And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. 6 But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” --- Acts 3:5-6 The lame man asked for money, but Peter gave him something much better---the use of his legs. We often ask God to solve a small problem, but he wants to give us a whole new life and help for all our problems. He may say. “I've got something even better for you.” You may ask God for what you want, but don’t be surprised when he gives you what you really need. “In the name of Jesus Christ” means “by the authority of Jesus Christ.” The apostles were doing this healing through the Holy Spirit’s power, not their own. --- Life Application Study Bible notes
