People have always wanted to know: What is God like? I think the best answer to that is: If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus. Today’s verses show us a miracle-working Jesus healing a man who had been ill for 38 long years. Problem was, Jesus did a politically incorrect thing. He healed on the Sabbath, and the law said you weren’t supposed to work that day. Some people, instead of being glad the man could finally walk again, got mad.
I think one thing God wants is for healing to take place even when there are those who think something else is more important. Whenever the ordinary of our lives is flavored with God’s love, whenever hope comes alive, it’s a miracle. With that definition, can you think of something that’s taken place in your own life recently that could be called a miracle?
PRAYER: Dear Lord, help us to see Jesus at work in our lives. Amen.
