Gospel
Luke 4:38-44
He would not allow them to speak because they knew he was the Christ
Leaving the synagogue, Jesus went to Simon’s house. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever and they asked him to do something for her. Leaning over her he rebuked the fever and it left her. And she immediately got up and began to wait on them.
At sunset all those who had friends suffering from diseases of one kind or another brought them to him, and laying his hands on each he cured them. Devils too came out of many people, howling, ‘You are the Son of God.’ But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak because they knew that he was the Christ.
When daylight came he left the house and made his way to a lonely place. The crowds went to look for him, and when they had caught up with him they wanted to prevent him leaving them, but he answered, ‘I must proclaim the Good News of the kingdom of God to the other towns too, because that is what I was sent to do.’ And he continued his preaching in the synagogues of Judaea.
Reflection
In today's reading Christ left those in need his gift and his love . He rebuke the fever .I He rebuked the demon and they shuddered. The demon knew their kingdom can be destroyed by Christ. The question is what do you do when faced
troubles? Do you put your trust in the lord.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus Christ you are full of love and mervy. May we put our trust in you to answer our prayers
Amen
