Peter and John went up to the temple together; it was the hour of prayer.
There was a man who was lame from birth who was carried and placed at the gate of the temple every day.
He couldn’t work,
He could only ask for alms from those who entered the temple.
This lame man, seeing Peter and John entering the temple, also asked for alms.
The lame man is a needy person,
he is destitute,
he is a wretch,
he is poor.
He is also the one who needs Jesus.
Here was a man who had been abandoned by his family and had no one to help him.
The only thing they could do for him was to leave him at the entrance to the temple.
That’s a man’s whole life, let’s imagine his state of mind.
When there was an event in the temple,
he could only watch from a distance.
He couldn’t participate,
He couldn’t contribute,
He couldn’t celebrate.
He could only expect people to give him a few silver coins.
The painful thing was that he was surrounded by Christians,
people who come all the time to pray, praise and adore the Lord, but nobody ever evangelised him.
We see how we miss opportunities?
How we are selfish and don’t care about others?
To have Jesus is to have everything.
It’s more important than the validity of his feet.
And one day, while the needy man was still asking Peter and John for alms, they stared at him and asked him to look at them.
The needy man did so, expecting them to give him something.
Pierre him says that he has neither money, nor but what he has, he gives him and he him ordonna se lever and walk name Jesus.
And immediately his feet became firm.
Beloved, let us learn to be sensitive to people in need,
let us learn to love others and to give them all our love,
Proverbs, 14:31 – Opprimer the poor, cest outrager the one who l
a; But have pity lindigent, c
est l`honorer.
Show compassion for the needy.
When we hurt those in need, God is not pleased because we are insensitive to the burdens of others.
But when we think of doing good to someone who is sick or poor, the Lord gives it back to us.
He feels proud,
He rewards those who love and care for their neighbours.
So let us be among those who want Jesus to be always satisfied.
Good day to you all
Good day to you
