Last Sunday afternoon, we heard about the healing of the lame man from Acts 3:1-10. We saw that this man with broken feet is a picture of the entire world. Because of Adam’s sin, we live in a broken world that is groaning under the curse. The effects of the curse include everything from broken feet to broken minds to broken souls. Yet, we also saw that the risen Lord Jesus completely healed this lame man. Again, this is a small little picture of what Jesus does for every single person who believes in Him. When we put our trust in Jesus, God forgives our sins and brings our spiritually dead hearts to new life. Although God may not heal all our physical diseases right now, God will heal His people completely—body and soul—when Jesus returns. Finally, we saw that the only proper response to this incredible grace is to worship God with overflowing joy. This Easter week, take some time to thank God for all that Jesus has done—not just forgiving our sins but also giving us the hope and promise of resurrection life.
