JESUS NEVER FAILS
Today’s Gospel passage is about the healing of the mother-in-law of Peter. The disciples appealed to Jesus for the healing of the mother-in-law of Jesus; Jesus rebuked the fever and the fever left her; and the mother-in-law of Jesus after her cure served them, may be as an expression of her gratitude to Jesus.
The three take away from the passage could be: the power of the intercessory prayer, the power of the words of Jesus and the power of gratitude expressed in service. When we pray for others God does hear that prayer; stop not praying for the intentions of others. Wait for the word of the Lord; stop not listening for they can restore and rejuvenate us. Serve the Lord for all his wonders in our lives for they it is the mark of our appreciation and gratitude to the Lord for all his goodness towards us.
