Luke 5:25-“ And immediately, as everyone watched, the man jumped up, picked up his mat, and went home praising God.”
My aunt had heart surgery a few days ago. The stent she received increased blood flow instantaneously. Within seconds her pallor changed from grayish-white to healthy pink. Energy level increased as cells were filled with oxygen.
What a difference change on the inside makes on the outward appearance.
That’s the way it is when we meet Jesus.
Over the years, I’ve watched faces change— faces once etched by years of disappointment and pain. Faces of those who have lived their whole lives without hope…without true meaning or purpose…carrying the burden of sin on their own shoulders.
Once that weight is lifted, these individuals experience true freedom. A smiling face and a spring in their step are outward evidence of internal change, just like the paralyzed man whose story of healing is recorded in Luke.
This is “spiritual surgery”—hearts and lives healed by the power of grace.
Praise God!
