Chris.
The beggar jumped up in response to the command of Apostle Peter. He had been so used to being a beggar. He not only made money in that way but I am sure that those people who carried him to the Temple gate also received some of his money. When the opportunity came for this beggar to have new life he took it spontaneously, there was no hesitation. That is how God wants us to respond to His Word as He speaks to us from it…spontaneously.
