It is undeniable that all of us have some kind of pain here and there.
For some of us, it is a physical pain; for some, it is an emotional pain; for some, it could be some kind of a spiritual pain.
Whatever kind of pain it is, we can either try to live with the pain.
But when the pain becomes unbearable, we would certainly want to look for a cure or a relief.
In the gospel, we heard that all those who had friends suffering from diseases of one kind or another brought them to Jesus, and He laid His hands on them and cured them.
Devils too came out of many people.
Jesus came to cure, to heal and to save. That is the Good News of salvation.
Jesus is our Saviour, and we don’t have to wait till the pain is unbearable before turning to Him to ask for His healing love.
When we have experienced His healing and saving love for us, then we are prepared to go on mission.
That mission is to be messengers of the Good News and bring people who are in pain to Jesus.
Jesus wants to cure, to heal and to save. We only need to turn to Him in our pain, and also bring those who are in pain to Him.
Then we will see how much we and others need to experience the Good News of the saving love of God.
