“Beautiful”

Perspectives Through Poetry – Acts 3:1-10

He stood out in the

crowd because he was

different and known by

all as a beggar. A man

born lame, He would sit

outside the temple gate

at a place called

Beautiful, where he

sought refuge in the

alms of those entering.

The time came when

Peter and John approached

Beautiful and gave him no alms,

for they offered refuge in

something far greater

And through the power of

Christ Jesus alive in

them, the lame man was

strengthened and leapt

fervently to his feet

giving praise to

God as all within the temple

were filled with amazement

at his transformation

He stood out in the

crowd because he was

Different.

This poem is my personal reflection on  Acts 3:1-10.

I encourage you to read the full story and be blessed in your own time of reflection.
