Our Gospel readings for February tell us of some of Jesus’ miracles of healing – of a man in with an unclean spirit, of Peter’s mother-in-law, of a leper. In some cases, these individuals went out and told others of their healing, so that many were drawn to seek out this teacher, whose words had divine authority to bring wholeness even to the most broken of lives.
We here at Emanuel can give testimony that Jesus still has power to heal, and power to save. Through the most difficult of circumstances – bereavement, illness, loss of employment, family strife – in our darkest hours we can turn to Jesus. The Risen Christ brings peace to our hearts that the world can neither give nor take away.
And like those first individuals whom Jesus healed, we too can spread the message that Christ has power to heal the brokenness of our lives, and that this healing power is available here at Emanuel Church. Words have power – power to break, and power to mend. May our words be a source of hope and strength to everyone we meet on our journey through life.
