Evening: Psalm 134, 135; Matthew 9:18-26
Why
does a woman with haemorrhages touch Jesus’ cloak, hoping to be cured?
Why does a religious leader, whose daughter has died, seek Jesus’
help? They find, in Jesus, a Life force that challenges death’s power.
Of course, we still all long for life and healing. The problem is … our
culture believes that eventually we will heal ourselves and conquer
death. In this, we are as misguided as those who ridiculed Jesus for
giving hope to the sick or bereaved. Even the Jurassic Park movie
declared, “Life finds a way”. Jesus points our little lives towards
that larger Life.
