Jesus’ Power to Save (109)

Do you believe Jesus can save anyone, no matter their situation? In Mark 1, a man with leprosy comes to Jesus, a disease so feared and incurable that it left people isolated and hopeless. But this man had faith. He fell before Jesus and said, "If you will, you can make me clean." And Jesus, full of compassion, reached out, touched him, and said, "I will; be clean." The man was instantly healed! This wasn’t just about healing a disease; it was a powerful symbol of Jesus’ authority to save us from the deepest uncleanness—sin. Just as Jesus healed that leper, He is willing to heal our souls and save us. Romans 10:13 says, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." The question isn’t if Jesus is willing to save. The question is: Are you willing to come to Him?

Jesus' Authority Over Our Priorities (108)

Have you ever wondered what it really means to follow Jesus? In Luke 5, Jesus gets into a boat with Simon Peter and tells him to cast his net into the deep waters. Peter, a seasoned fisherman, is skeptical, but he obeys. The result? An overwhelming catch of fish, so massive it nearly sinks the boats! But here’s the heart of the story: Peter’s response in Luke 5. He falls at Jesus’ knees and says, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man.” Instead of dismissing Peter, Jesus calls him to a new mission: "From now on you will be catching men." Peter and his companions leave everything—their boats, their livelihood—and follow Jesus. The authority of Jesus rearranges their priorities completely. What about you? Are there things in your life that need to be reprioritized?

The physical healing proves His authority in the spiritual realm. Jesus is ready to forgive your sins today.
