Coming
to the Christ
in
the house of another
seeking
healing
an
uninvited guest
coming
right to him
Christ
responding,
healing
him
but
first questioning,
the
content of their faith
in
the cold words alone
Christ
healing,
showing
real compassion
even
on the Sabbath
bringing
wholeness for the stranger
in
the place where he was
Giving
a lesson
upturning
their theology
changing
their whole world
the
rules that they lived by
not
nearly enough
God’s
love greater, real
calling
us to welcome all those in need
offering
ourselves freely
giving
help to the stranger,
all
who are in need
