Bible Study

Today's passage gives us another miraculous healing of Jesus to a woman. Seems nothing big and important, but with the linking of the next passage it becomes a big lesson to learn.

N.T. Wright says:
The Kingdom is like a tiny seed producing a huge tree - which can then accommodate all the birds in the sky.  One action in one synagogue on one sabbath; what can this achieve?  But when Jesus sows the seed of the kingdom, nobody knows what will result.  Or the Kingdom as a small helping of leaven, hidden apparently in the flour. It seems insignificant and ineffectual; but before long the whole mixture is leavened.  One healing of one woman - but every time you break the satanic chains that have tied people up, another victory is won which will go on having repercussions.

Lots of time we think that big campaign, event can bring big effect. But, here in this passage tells us that it may not be like that. Small thing, little action can be a big step for the Kingdom. 
    
Let's have a time to be still and give the Holy Spirit space to speak through the passage of scripture we have just read. Offer this time up to Jesus as you listen to him, while listening to "Gabriel's Oboe"



Spiritual Journal

     What I heard from Jesus today is: One little action, big step for the Kingdom!

     What I received from Jesus today is to remind us the power of doing small things and little action. One little chat, one small act of love, one short visit, one little prayer can be a big step for the advancement of the Kingdom.

     It's just lots of time we don't believe in the power of this little action!

Dear Lord Jesus,
Lead us to have the awareness of the importance of doing little action and help us to catch the opportunity to be able to do it. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.
