Daily Devotion — June 23 | Acts 3:16 (NKJV)
The Strength That Comes Through Christ
Acts 3:16 is part of Peter's explanation following the miraculous healing of the lame man at the temple gate. The crowd was astonished and began looking at Peter and John as though they possessed some special power. Peter quickly redirected their attention away from himself and toward Jesus Christ. He wanted everyone to understand that the miracle had not occurred through human ability but through faith in the name of Jesus.
The healed man was well known to the people of Jerusalem. They had seen him sitting at the temple gate for years, unable to walk. Now he stood before them completely restored. Peter declared that the source of this transformation was Jesus Christ. The power that healed the man came through faith in the risen Savior.
This verse teaches an important lesson about the Christian life. Our strength does not come from our own wisdom, abilities, or efforts. True spiritual strength comes through faith in Jesus. He is the source of healing, restoration, hope, and transformation. When we trust Him, He works in ways that go far beyond what we could accomplish on our own.
Faith is not confidence in ourselves; it is confidence in Christ. The lame man became a living testimony of what God can do through His power. While God may not always work through physical miracles in the same way, He continues to transform lives every day. He strengthens the weak, comforts the hurting, forgives sinners, and gives new life to all who trust in Him.
When challenges arise, believers can remember that the same Jesus who gave strength to this man is still at work today. Our confidence rests not in our circumstances but in the power and faithfulness of Christ.
Reflection Questions
1. Where am I looking for strength apart from Jesus?
2. How has Christ demonstrated His power and faithfulness in my life?
3. What situation do I need to entrust to Jesus in faith today?
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You that true strength is found in Jesus Christ. Help me to trust Him completely and to rely on His power rather than my own abilities. Strengthen my faith and remind me that nothing is impossible for You. Use my life as a testimony of Your grace, power, and faithfulness. In Jesus name Amen.
Practical Application

● Thank God for ways He has strengthened and sustained you in the past.
● Share a testimony of God's faithfulness with someone who needs
encouragement.
Takeaway Thought
Faith in Jesus unlocks the strength, hope, and transformation that only He can provide.
