In this week’s Gospel lesson from Matthew 9, the Pharisees are aghast that Jesus would share a meal with tax collectors and sinners. Shocking! And he healed a woman whose affliction made her unclean, a social outcast. Horrifying! And, when one of the local elites, the leader of the synagogue, came asking for help because his daughter had died, he went. Miraculous!
Jesus didn’t see social boundaries as we do. He saw people. People who were hurting. People who needed his help.
Who needs your help this week?
Are you hurting, in need of help? Jesus is still there for you.
Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.
Thanks be to God!
