"...So that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord." Acts 3:19
There is an important word here that has escaped most commentators, and that elusive word is "from." What Peter wants is not just a refreshing of Christ's presence in his life. He desires that the person of Christ be the center from which all refreshment radiates. It is a radiance that refreshes even those things that are unrefreshing. What Peter prays for is the giving of a glory to things which are not naturally or normally glorious.
