When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to [Jesus], and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.”

Matthew 8:16-17

Thoughts on Today’s Verse…

How does Jesus feel about us when we feel tormented by evil and unfairness? Does he really long to touch our broken bodies when we are sick or have problems? First, when we look at Jesus in the dusk of early evening as he touches the untouchable, we know! Second, when we look to the cross and see Jesus in anguish, we can be confident that he knows and cares about our pain, death, and humiliation. There is also a third place to look: The future when we see him, and he touches and wipes away every tear from our eyes and ends sorrow and death forever. We will then share in his glory and joy for all eternity. We trust Jesus’ grace in our earth-bound existence as mortals, but we know it only in parts and pieces. However, the Day will come when we will know it fully and will experience the ultimate healing and deliverance of Jesus in our immortal bodies (1 Corinthians 13:9-12; 1 Corinthians 15:35-58).

My Prayer…

Holy and Righteous Father, until I realize and experience your Day of ultimate grace, I trust your love and mercy will sustain me through the grace of Jesus, my Savior, and your Son. In his name, Jesus of Nazareth, I pray and hope. Amen.
