Lesson 53
Meet Jesus : Cure All

Matthew 4: 24: And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.

Years ago, the travelling salesman would present a "cure all." Take this and whatever ailed you would go away. It didn't work. Cod liver oil can just do so much. Epsom salts will melt the ice and cleanse your system, but it won't heal your heart. Aspirin will thin your blood, and aleviate a fever, and back off headaches, but it won't cast out demons. Jesus does it all. Meet Jesus, and you meet the answer. He is a cure all.

ACT!
What is bothering you that just seems to defy resolution? Give it to Jesus and let Him begin His healing process.

PRAY!
Father of Love and Laughter, open me up and do surgery on my expectations. Jesus cures it all. Give me dancing for my mourning. Give me praise for my heaviness. Give me beauty for my ashes. Fill me my cup with Jesus, and I will overflow.
