No Other Foundation Than Jesus Christ

1 Corinthians 3:1-9 
Luke 4:38-44

God in his nature is compassionate and gracious, merciful and righteous, and He has dominion over all natural and supernatural existence; all for his purpose and glory. We see several features and qualities in Christ’s healing especially in today’s gospel.

With the way, the evangelist who is a physician describes the healing of Simon’s mother-in-law and that of so many who received healing from the Lord, we can see that the power of Christ did not merely make people better but entirely whole and healthy. He healed compassionately, authoritatively, instantly, completely and inclusively. These are the snapshots of the sacred and compassionate heart of Christ and that of God himself.

Every miracle of Jesus points to one single direction, Jesus himself. In him is power over all things spiritual and physical; seen and unseen. He is the word of God and he knows us and cares for all our needs. Sometimes, we feel it is about doing what is good from what is bad and that is all but essentially we must improve on the good we do to become better and better. Become perfect in Christ.

We have to remain faithful always, believing in his word. Our spiritual well being matters. Believing in his power even when he calls us out of our busy lives to encounter him in prayer. We must learn to follow his ordinance and purpose.

Merciful Jesus, we thank you for your grace and the price you paid for our salvation show us how to become a better version of ourselves as you have moulded us and show us the way we can bring your healing to those who need your saving help. Amen.
