Think on this.

 If you are a thinker, think on this. A situation in scripture(Holy Bible) where the Apostle Peter, and the Apostle John, performed a miracle on a man who had laid at the door of the Temple many times, begging for help. The man was lame could not walk. The Apostle Peter lifted the man, and as he did the Lord restored his ability to walk again. Crowds were watching. Peter must have seen some astonishing faces. Peter and John started to walk and as is to be expected the healed man clung to them. The crowd hurried to greet them, and approached the apostles at the eastern side of Solomon's Portico, or porch, which is part of the temple. Then Peter began to preach to them. Peter Saw the amazed look in their eyes. He addressed they're surprise. They looked at Peter and John as if they did what they did by their own power. So immediately Peter began to preach the truth about who's power performed the miracle. He boldly began to lecture them about what they had done to the Prince of Life, which is Jesus. They delivered up Jesus to the Gentiles for trial. They denied him in the presence of pilate. Even when pilate had full intentions of releasing Jesus. They denied the Holy One and the just one who is Christ and ask for the release of a murderer named Barabbas. Wow now in the beginning when I said think on this.... this could have been a normal Act when you think about the fact that these religious Jews saw what Christ was saying, as being blasphemous. After all this man called the Christ was declaring that he was the Son of God the only begotten son of God. Peter recognized that his Jewish Brothers had done this out of ignorance yet he knew that they read the holy scriptures written by the prophets concerning the Messiah. Notice that he called them to repentance so that their sins could be blotted out. Now what  caused me to pick out this particular scripture to talk about. What was I thinking? I was thinking about how hard I have had life, and yet look at this lame man who laid at the door of the temple everyday begging for help. Look at the condition of all the Jewish people who witnessed this miracle. Things could be worse, so I must not pity my own situation without taking into consideration that I can walk and I can ask for forgiveness from my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for I am not ignorant. Like this man and his faith in Christ enabled him to rise up and walk. My faith my repentance of my sin enables me to rise up above any situation I may find myself in. What a glorious merciful wonderful God that I serve. Man may not forgive me but Christ will. All of the scripture came from the book of Acts chapter 3 beginning with verse 11. The key here, is that I should not feel sorry for myself and I must repent always for my sin. And so must you. So be it. Amen
