Matthew 4:23 (NKJV): And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
Matthew, Matthew 4:23.
Hey, I’m Nathan, and this is Day 2 of 30 Days Watching Jesus. People. Jesus loved them. Of course, we’ve all heard that. It’s an essential tenet of Christian belief. But how much do we really believe it? These days we fly our big Jesus flag while being nasty on social media or trashing the people we don’t like or who see things different from us. Jesus? He spent his time healing and bringing hope. What if—I mean just imagine it—what if every person who says they believed in Jesus—and that probably includes you—was obsessed with his mission of loving people? What if we spent our days giving life and hope, rather than exacerbating division and tearing others up? What if we became known—like Jesus—as healers. What if our neighbors could count on us to love well? To speak well. To be kind?
