“And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.” (Luke 9:43)
The crowds watched a young boy with an incurable ailment. The demon threw him on the ground in convulsions, left him screaming in pain, and his body mauled by its possession. The crowds knew this boy, and anyone with any heart would have been touched by his predicament. Likely all of them felt some level of sympathy, but they couldn’t do anything but stand by helplessly.
Jesus wasn’t helpless, though. When Jesus rebuked the demon, the people witnessed the power, mercy, love, and grace of God melded together in one act of healing. The miracles of Jesus don’t just show us His strength – they show us His character. The same Jesus who healed that boy can redeem you, too.
We may be helpless without Him, but through Him, all things are possible.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
