In John chapter 5, Jesus healed a paralyzed man. We learn that Jesus always asked stimulating questions, had authentic healing power, and showed both his sovereignty and grace in everything he did. The healing also serves as a microcosm of the larger Gospel message. We are all the paralyzed man and in desperate need of someone to make us well.
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
