A reflection on knowing God

 Some people brought to him a paralyzed man on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Be encouraged, my child! Your sins are forgiven.”- Matthew 9:22

Although we mostly come to Jesus when we have needs. We want Him to help us with our situations, heal our sickness, provide for our finances, direct us in making important decisions. In spite of this, He never rebukes us, but His words are gentle. When we pray, He takes the opportunity to teach us about Himself and learn about Him.

Most of all, God’s desire for us is spiritual wholeness—healing from the crippling disease of sin. Faith in Jesus is the key to receiving healing from God, and the Son of Man has power over everything that troubles us.

We come to Jesus who does miracles, and we leave knowing Him more.
