There Is Power In The Name Of Jesus

Acts 3:6-10

Then Peter said, 'Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.' Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognised him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. (NIVUK)

The lame beggar at the temple never expected to be healed or even asked to be healed (Acts 3:1-5). He would have heard about the Jesus who had healed people; but now that time had gone. The crippled man continued to ask for money. So, Peter's intervention was a total surprise to him. The apostle simply told him to walk, 'in the Name of Jesus', because Jesus had authorised him to do so (John 14:13). Peter did not want the man to try to do the impossible, but to trust in the power of Jesus Christ. If Jesus commanded him to walk, then he should obey.
