Peter and John walk by a lame man who spent his life begging outside of the gate called Beautiful. Everyone else who passed him were only willing to meet a temporary need (money). Peter and John, having encountered the filling of the Holy Spirit one chapter before, were empowered to meet his eternal need, being lame. How many in the church get saved and are told to start serving, join a group, etc. instead of having their eternal needs met, new life in Christ by the Holy Spirit infilling.
