For Saturday, December 9, 2023:
Mark 1:30-31 NLT: “Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever. The disciples told Jesus about her right away. So he went to her bedside, took her by the hand, and helped her sit up. Then the fever left her, and she prepared a meal for them.”
This wasn’t a big ceremonial healing for a large crowd. This was a personal faith healing. Jesus believed in the outcome, took her by the hand, and helped her sit up. It never occurred to him that she wouldn’t be well when she sat up. Faith.
Out of gratitude for the health she had been given, Simon’s mother-in-law prepared supper for the guys. They needed the sustenance. A line was beginning to form outside Simon’s house, and the healings would continue well into the night.
People were beginning to understand who Jesus was and what he could do. The townsfolk watched in amazement as he healed a great many, and sent evil spirits packing.
Life is better without evil!
