What
kind of stir do you think happened in the area of Galilee when
someone yelled, "Jesus is Coming!... I just saw him, He is headed
this way...Hurry, let's go and see this man that people are talking
about."
I
can IMAGINE, a Mother with a sick baby. Maybe it has been fretful for
several days but now she feels the intense heat of its little body
upon her chest. She has the baby tied in a sling around her waist and
knows the chores she has been doing will have to wait. Dinner will be
delayed for Jesus is coming...
I
can imagine her scurrying around to make her home safe so she could
leave and follow the crowd. I can feel the rush of her heartbeat as
she thought, ”today, I will see Jesus and He will heal my baby!”
No more fear, no more anxiety over her now lifeless little
one...”Today my baby will be healed!"
Because
of her faith and her persistence, she set out to push her way through
the now seemingly impossible gathering of people. You see, she was
not the only one who believed. She and many others heard about the
miracles...the lame walking, the blind seeing, the little girl raised
from the dead...even the grieving Mother given back her son as Jesus
passed them in the funeral procession. Yes! She knew what He could do
and she had to make her way to Him regardless of the effort it took.
Her baby’s life depended on it.
Are
you in need of a miracle in your life or in the life of someone you
know? What are you willing to do to reach Jesus? It could mean
breaking free from everything that holds you captive. Getting
desperate and strong in determination to go the distance. It could
mean pushing through the crowd to touch Jesus, the one who can change
your life or someone you love and bring hope to the hopeless
situation. Jesus is the giver of life...the Great I am...the one who
will take time to stop and HEAL YOU...Behold The Lamb Of God!
