In the sacred journey of Jesus ministry, He encountered not one, but two individuals who were facing the challenge of paralysis. In both instances, He advised them to rise and bear their burden. As they embraced the strength of obedience, the flow of power graced their feeble limbs.
In the realm of uncertainty in Luke 6:6-11, the man with the withered hand appeared incapable of extending it. However, when Jesus commanded him to do so, he defied doubt and witnessed the miraculous restoration of his hand.
In the depths of the grave, Lazarus rested for four days, until the divine voice of Jesus beckoned, saying, “Lazarus, arise and come forth.” With great power, the command was bestowed. From the depths of darkness, Lazarus emerged into the light.
Beloved, the Almighty God who parted the Red Sea and the Jordan, allowing His people to safely cross, remains unchanged in the present. When His people obey His will, He continues to remove impossibilities from their path. The abundant grace to fulfill His commands is always provided by Him. The divine power within us continues to guide and empower us, aligning our desires and actions with His divine purpose.
Let us embrace and embody this truth. When guided by our Lord Jesus, let us never retreat with the excuse of incapability. When He guides our actions, He grants us the strength to fulfill them.
