On His way to heal a prominent leader’s daughter, Jesus delays to heal a woman who had been suffering for 12 years (⁠Luke 8:40-56⁠). During that delay the child died.

Note the humility of a child: sincere, sensitive, and simple. The humblest child has the ability to influence many souls. Forgiveness is a characteristic of the kingdom as well (⁠Matthew 18:21-35⁠). You can’t even count the importance and value of forgiveness. God’s forgiveness is extreme; forgiveness is divine.

Today, in our reading from the Gospel of⁠ Matthew, chapter 9⁠, we are introduced to a level of authority that only God possesses. Jesus is clear: He has the authority to forgive sin. But He also has the authority to heal and to transform your identity to be a child of God. Allow Jesus to be your good shepherd; He has the authority to do that too. He calls you, […]
