As Peter toured the whole region, he went to visit God’s holy people in Lydda. There he found a man named Aeneas who was paralyzed and had been confined to his bed for eight years. Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and make your bed.” At once he got up. Everyone who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord. (Acts 9:32-35, CEB)
This is interesting to me. Peter was touring the region and found a man who was paralyzed and confined to bed for 8 years. Peter said, Jesus Christ heals you and he got up and was healed and because of this, the people who saw him turned to the Lord.
Why did you follow?
Why do you follow?
Is it because of the healings Jesus did, does, will do?
Do you hope to get in that healing, and think following will help your chances?
Do we follow for what we got, or get?
Do you follow because it is the best way to be a person who shows love to others?
Loving People. Loving God.
