Mark 1
What I see when I read this is that when people come to Jesus for help and healing, things are okay again. That doesn't mean they never experience pain and hardship again, but in that moment and in eternity, things are okay. I feel as though for a long time I have not come to Jesus at all, and the fruits of my functional autonomy are apparent. They stick out like rotting sores to me.
Jesus, take this fruit and renew it by the nourishment and sweetness of your grace. Amen.
