Matthew 9:1-8:
Jesus is moved by the faith of those who bring the paralyzed man to him hoping for their friend’s healing. Jesus consoles the man and then heals him physically and spiritually. Through what he says and what he does, Jesus establishes his divine authority. The grumbling of the scribes does not affect the reaction of those who witnessed Jesus’ power to work wonders.
How often we overlook or even deny your power in our lives and in the world. May we be mindful of you in the ordinary and extraordinary moments in our lives and bear witness to your divine presence.
