Bible Note: Hello gracefull What about those the Lord deliberately passed by? Acts 3:2 (ESV) And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. Here's a man who Jesus would have gone by every time He entered the temple. Nothing was done for him until Peter and John came by. What about Paul's thorn in the flesh? 2 Cor. 12:7-9 (ESV) So to keep me from being too elated by the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from being too elated. [8] Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. [9] But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. The only answer was to rely on God's grace. Read Job 1 and 2 concerning the devil having authority to cause sickness. Read 1 Cor 11:17ff concerning those who are sick because of sin. Steve |
