Noticing the Broken: Sharing Jesus in Everyday Encounters

The story of Peter and John healing the lame beggar at the temple gate reminds us that what we often perceive as disruptions might actually be Kingdom Opportunities. As believers, we're called to be ambassadors of Christ, ready to notice and engage with the brokenness around us. This truth encourages us to treat people with dignity, regardless of their circumstances, and to recognize that while we may not have material resources to offer, we always have the name of Jesus. It's a call to leave margin in our lives for God to work, to see the overlooked, and to trust in the power of the gospel to transform lives. The parallels drawn between the apostles' ministry and our own potential impact challenge us to step out in faith, believing that God can use us to bring healing and hope to those we encounter.
