Friday, September 12: Authority that Transforms
Day 5: Authority that Transforms
Reading: Matthew 8:14-17
The healing of Peter's mother-in-law shows us that Jesus' authority brings about immediate and practical transformation. Upon being healed, she got up and began to serve. This is a beautiful picture of how encountering Jesus should change us - it enables us to serve others. The authority of Jesus isn't just about making our lives better; it's about equipping us to participate in His mission of love and service to the world. Today, reflect on how your encounter with Jesus has changed you. Are there areas where you need to allow His transforming power to work more deeply? Ask God to show you how you can use your "healing" to serve others today.
