Acts 3:1–10

What if the most significant moment of your day happened not at your destination, but on the way there? Acts chapter 3 opens with a scene that challenges us to rethink how we move through ordinary life. Peter and John are heading to the temple for prayer, a routine act of faithfulness, when they encounter a man who has been lame from birth, carried daily to the Beautiful Gate to beg for alms. This was no accident. It was a divine appointment, orchestrated by a God who works through the faithful rhythms of His people. The central lesson here is both simple and profound: Jesus displays His compassion and power through His people.
