Luke 4:38-39 – Healing Peter’s Mother-in-law
“After he left the synagogue, he entered Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked him about her. So he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and began to serve them” (CSB’17 Luke 4:38-39).
“Typical male,” a wife said. “Jesus only healed the woman so she could wait on Him.” Although said tongue-in-cheek, there is a serious point to be made.
When Jesus heals us spiritually, or from a physical illness, the proper response is service. Have we started serving Jesus and His disciples?
