Sabbath is about rest, but it’s also about sanctification.
We hope for healing in this life and expect it in the next.
When we fail to Sabbath, we miss the opportunity to experience the wholeness God longs to provide.
There’s a point where what hurts today won’t hurt any longer.
Green pastures are limited opportunities to heal up and stock up.
If Jesus sought out miserable souls to offer relationship and speak salvation, then so should we. No one is too far gone. Every person is an image bearer and needs to be treated as such. We behave as neighbors when we notice another’s pain, when we stop to tend to it as best we can.
The leper was cured. His body was restored. The bio-nerd in me wonders what that looked like. How bad off did he look pre-Jesus?
My devotional space faces east and it is amazing to rise each morning and watch the Lord knit together a new day. It is typically still inky black outside my window when I first open the scriptures, but pretty soon the eastern sky begins to lighten by degrees. The shadows gather in the corners until they will finally slink away entirely. The black of night fades away to blue and eventually brightens altogether as pink and orange and yellow pour forth. Eventually the sunrise overtakes the nightfall altogether.
