Jesus continues to tell the messengers to tell John, “The blind
receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear,
the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor.”
The best weapon against the dark times is
knowing that it will not last.
During World War II, the Germans forced many twelve-and
thirteen-year-old boys into the Junior Gestapo. These boys were treated very
harshly and given inhumane jobs to perform. When the war ended, most had lost
track of their families and wandered without food or shelter.
As part of an aid program to post-war Germany, many of these
youths were placed in tent cities. Where doctors and psychologists worked with
the boys in an attempt to restore their mental and physical health. They found
that many of the boys would awaken in the middle of the night, screaming in
terror. One doctor had an idea for handling that fear. After feeding the boys a
large meal, he put them to bed with a piece of bread in their hands, which they
were told to save until morning. The boys then slept soundly because, after so
many years of hunger, they finally had the assurance of food for the next day.
Do you have Jesus as your Savior? If you do…
You hold the Bread of Life in your hands and therefore have the
assurance that you will not go out of this life in terror and fear.
You have the power to look at the dark times and know there is
hope and there is a future greater than we can comprehend.
You have the ability to shine light in the darkness and illuminate
the stage of your life.
You have the presence of God. Don't miss it. You know I love ya, Don
