Life may slow us down, but when Jesus lifts us up, we have work to do!
We read in St. Mark’s Gospel:
And immediately He (Jesus) left the synagogue, and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told Him of her. And He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them.
Mark 1:29-31
Simon’s mother-in-law knew she had work to do, but she could not do it. She needed a healing that only the Master could do! Fever had got her down and she could not get out of bed. Her son-in-law knew what to do, his brother and his friends, knew what to do; they brought Jesus to her! The chains of fever had her down, but the Great Physician, Jesus, took over and she was healed and praised Him my serving Him and everyone in their midst.
This could be our story! We are to serve one another and in doing so we bring them Jesus. These encounters changed everything because:
When Jesus set you free, you are free indeed! John 8:36
We are called to bring healing in our world. We do this by serving one another and in doing so, we bring them Jesus and we all participate in Jesus healing the world!
Share Jesus and heal the world!
