Thought for Monday December 7


Our God will come to save us!
I will hear what God proclaims;
the LORD –for he proclaims peace to his people.
Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,
glory dwelling in our land.
Our God will come to save us!

Luke 5: 17 – 26  And some men brought on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed; they were trying to bring him in and set him in his presence.   But not finding a way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on the stretcher through the tiles into the middle in front of Jesus.  When Jesus saw their faith, he said, “As for you, your sins are forgiven.”

For whom would I work this hard [carry on a stretcher, cut a hole in a roof, etc.]?  Does it seem strange that Jesus’ response to an act of faith is to forgive the faithful? 

Action:  Go the extra mile for someone this week.
