What Do We Have?

Nehemiah 11-12; Psalms 1; Acts 3

“…’Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.’…He jumped to his feet and began to walk…’By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.’”

Acts 3:6, 8, 16

We can only give to others what we already have. 

What do we have to give to those around us who are in addictions, loneliness, sickness, trauma, and pain?

Peter and John had the name of Jesus. We often give silver and gold, or our time and compassion. Peter and John gave the living presence of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit. It is by faith in the name of Jesus that people are healed, restored, freed, and empowered today. 

Do we know Jesus in all those ways so we, too, can share his name with others?

Are we walking through our day with confidence in the name of Jesus for both our challenges in every area of life, and for those around us?

“Lord Jesus, you are our healer, Savior, deliverer, leader, counselor, and friend. Thank you for your name, for your glory.”
