Shine Jesus Shine

Jesus, my preciuos Friend

What Jesus did? - for Feb. 4



A Friend Like No Other - Matthew 4:24



The news about Jesus spread all over Syria. And people brought all the sick people to Jesus. These sick people were suffering from different kinds of diseases and pain. Some people were suffering with very bad pain, some people had demons inside them, some people were epileptics, and some people were paralyzed (crippled). Jesus healed all these people. (ERV)


Key Thought
Jesus healed them all! He could handle any kind of pain. He could handle any kind of person. He could meet any kind of need. He could overthrow any kind of oppression. No wonder people heard about him from all over the region. In an old hymn, Christians sing about Jesus, who "knows all about our struggles," who is a friend like no other -- he not only cares about our pain, he also ministers to it. So what struggle, hurt, pain, challenge, or illness do you refuse to share with him?



Today's Prayer
Loving God and Tender Shepherd, please hear my cry for help with the struggles and difficulties in my life. I confess that all too often I have tried to handle them alone. I know I cannot face these difficulties without your help, grace and power. Please bless me with these today, I pray, in Jesus' name. Amen.
