Where in the World do you find Faith?

Acts 3:16
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 all see.

Peter tells the crippled man to "look at us." He needed this man to stop looking around, looking for help elsewhere and to look at them. Silver and gold I don't have...Peter said. Then he says "In the name of Jesus..." and the man is healed.

Did this man have the faith in Jesus for his healing? Probably not. Jesus was not physically there and there is no indication he had ever met Jesus before. Plus this man was concentrating on collecting as much money as he could. But Peter had faith. How did he get faith? ...and the faith that comes through Him [Jesus] — through Jesus. Peter had spent a lot of time with Jesus. He'd answered Jesus' call when he was just an uneducated fisherman. He'd learned through Jesus' teaching, through watching Him, but mostly through relationship. Peter loved Jesus and believed Him. Once when Jesus asked His disciples "Who do you say that I am?" Peter had replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus replied . . . flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. (Matt. 16:13-17) Peter said to the man, hey, look at us . . . stop looking around for your help. It's right here, right now, today.

Jesus I ask that You will open my eyes, ears and heart as You walk with me, teach me, and instruct me in Your ways that I might know you intimately. My faith comes through You. You taught Peter about faith, about trusting in You - teach me. I now receive, by faith, all that you have for me. Amen.
