Beautiful Gate page 1 by ric gustafson
Two friends slowly walked along carrying their friend on their shoulders. They knew the route. They knew where to place their friend. They stopped and placed him on the concrete next to the Beautiful Gate. The Gate was right next to the entrance of the Temple. They walked away.
" Alms" he yelled. He raised his tin cup.
Peter and John were walking toward the entrance. Peter noticed the lame man.
" Alms" he yelled as he tried to get their attention.
The two disciples stopped.
Peter knelt down beside him. " Look at us".
The lame man stared at Peter. He shook his tin cup.
" I do not possess silver and gold but what I do have I give to you". Peter looked at him with love and compassion. " In the name of Jesus Christ walk".
Peter held him with his right hand. He slowly raised him up.
The lame man's feet and ankles were strengthened.
