The love of our Master

In the lesson this week I was deeply moved by the loving kindness and compassion expressed by the Master even though he was surrounded by disbelievers – those who thought “evil in their hearts” and “laughed him to scorn.” To the man sick of the palsy he said, “Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.” And to the woman diseased with an issue of blood, he said, “Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole.” In each instance he called them by an affectionate name and gave them such love, comfort and encouragement – this is the Divine Love that heals. His healing ministry described in Matthew chapter 9 came after he had been thrown out of the place where he had healed the man with devils and yet he was never aggravated or put off by those who mocked and hated him - otherwise this healing work could never have been done. Quite an example of Love!
