On his way to the temple to pray, Peter is stopped by a crippled man asking for money. Rather than simply give what is expected (and needed, the man had to live too), Peter offers healing in the name of Jesus Christ. Peter then helps him to his feet and moments later his is jumping for joy. This episode illustrates for us the need to take action when we see suffering in our world and not simply turn a blind eye. Moreover, we need to offer help in the name of Jesus because only the Gospel can take a glass of water and turn it into Living Water. As Christians, we have no excuse for not being active (as individuals and as churches) in helping to alleviate and solve suffering. Whatever you have, you can give.
