Fast-forward two seconds...
"And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them."
Nothing glamorous or amazing, right?
Wait! Read that again! HE HEALED THEM!
A lame man...never having walked or ran or skipped or played tagged or climbed a mountain or hopped on one foot or participated in a three-legged race or crawled...
...and Jesus healed him.
A child...never had he seen light, could not fathom the color red, had never seen how clouds drift in the sky, had never seen his reflection in a pool of water...
...and Jesus healed him.
These are not just words on a page or computer screen, this is the story of a life! Jesus changed these people in an instant. FOREVER!
What about you? Can you look back a moment in your life that Jesus CHANGED you? Maybe not physically, but spiritually. Did He transform your fearful heart into one of bold courage? Did He heal your emotional scars and give you satisfaction in Himself?
Just as real as that moment was in your life, was the moment when God strengthened the legs of a lame man, and opened the eyes of a blind child. Never read Scripture as "just a story." Ask God to blow you away. He will.
