Can You feel their pain?
HEADING Help my son
By Napoleon BlackTEXT (Mark 9:21, 22)
And [Jesus] asked his father, How long has he had this? And he answered, From the time he was a little boy. 22And it has often thrown him both into fire and into water, intending to kill him. But if You can do anything, do have pity on us and help us. Amp.
He asked the boy's father, "How long has this been going on?" "Ever since he was a little boy. Many times it pitches him into fire or the river to do away with him. If you can do anything, do it. Have a heart and help us!" Message
Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” “From childhood,” he answered. “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us. NIV
COMMENTARYThis young man has been in pain from his birth. Forces, not totally under his control, were out to destroy him from he was born. The forces tried various means as there was a vested interest in the young man’s destruction. Interestingly in this episode, it is his father who took him to see Jesus.
Many young people live with a deep sense of restlessness, and on the constant and anxious edge of fear of destruction. Think of this young man, who was not quite sure where the next attack would come from, or what form it would take.
Some wounds that some of our young people face are deep. Some live in fear of their lives every day. Some live with no sense of protection. Some feel helpless and utterly hopeless. A desperate father, sick at seeing his son in pain takes him to Jesus
Something to Meditate on:Can you see the pain in young people around you?
A decision I need to makeHow can I help young people in pain around me?
