Gospel: Luke
13:10-17
Jesus was
teaching in a synagogue on the sabbath. And a woman was there who for eighteen
years had been crippled by a spirit; she was bent over, completely incapable of
standing erect. When
Jesus saw her, he called to her and said, “Woman, you are set free of your
infirmity.” He laid his hands on her, and she at once stood up straight and
glorified God. But the leader of the synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured
on the sabbath, said to the crowd in reply, “There are six days when work
should be done. Come on those days to be cured, not on the sabbath day.” The
Lord said to him in reply, “Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath
untie his ox or his ass from the manger and lead it out for watering? This
daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not
to have been set free on the sabbath day from this bondage?” When he said this,
all his adversaries were humiliated; and the whole crowd rejoiced at all the
splendid deeds done by him.

Reflection:
Do you
believe that Jesus would heal you of anything that you’re feeling right now?
Have faith and believe for indeed you will be healed by Jesus.
Jesus
compassion for us is unfathomable; His desire to heal us of our sickness
(whatever it may be) is beyond question. But He also requires something from us
and that is faith. If we have faith Jesus healing hands will touch and heal us.
The woman
in the gospel who has been crippled by an evil spirit has faith. This is the
reason why Jesus cured her even if it was Sabbath day, a day of rest for the
Jewish people. Faith is the most important requirement for us to receive healing
from Jesus. Without faith there would be no healing from Jesus.
Are you
in-need of healing from Jesus right now? Pray and ask the greatest healer who
ever walked this earth to heal you. For nothing is impossible for Jesus, He
always makes a way for us when there seems to be no way. - Marino J. Dasmarinas
