Evening: Psalm 119:25-48; Luke 4:38-44
The people of Galilee see Jesus’s healing power in action and they want to keep him for themselves. But he insists that other cities also need the good news he has to share. From the beginning Jesus is clear that he is no-one’s private healer. When you encounter him, you may experience healing, but it is not for your own benefit alone. You are to use your well-being for the common good. Nor are Jesus’s healings an end in themselves. They are to draw our attention to his larger purpose, which is the healing of the world.
