Serving the Word: 11th February

THURSDAY 11th FEBRUARY 2021

Mark 7, 24-30:

“A woman who had a daughter possessed by an unclean spirit heard about him at once, and went and found him, and fell at Jesus’ feet…. And Jesus said to her, ‘Go, get out; because of what you have said, the demon has gone out of your daughter'”.

 

Jesus surrenders to the love of a mother who asks for healing for her daughter.

She knows that she does not belong to the people of Israel, that she is a pagan, a foreigner, that she has no credentials that give her the right to demand the salvation that the Master brings.

But her faith in him and her affection for her daughter lead her to insist on the healing.

And Jesus gives in. He has seen their faith and their love. For Him there are no borders, no race, no creed. He understands only faith and love. And this pagan and foreigner was brimming with both.

Do not hesitate to always turn to Jesus.

Ask Jesus today in faith for all that is in your heart.

Good day.
