Being God’s intersection point

But Peter said, “I don’t have silver or gold, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!” (Acts 3:6)

Last Sunday, my pastor was talking about how Eden was God’s first intersection point between heaven and earth: a place where Adam and Eve could encounter God.

Then the tabernacle and the temple became God’s intersection point where his people could encounter him.

Then Jesus came, and he became the intersection point between God and and humanity. When people met Jesus, they literally encountered God face to face.

But now the Holy Spirit dwells in us, and we are God’s intersection point.

At least we should be.

Peter and John were for that lame man. Through them, that man encountered God and so did thousands more after hearing Peter speak.

In the same way, I want to be God’s intersection point for those around me. I want to be like Peter and John, noticing the people God brings to me and touching them with God’s love.

It may be praying for their healing.

Or giving them a word of encouragement.

Or sharing my faith in Jesus.

But that’s my prayer: “Father, make me your intersection point so that others may encounter you in me.”
