Today's readings are Psalm 80:1-7, Deuteronomy 4:21-40, and Matthew 8:1-17.
Sometimes I wonder if we really realize how supernatural God claims to be in Scripture. In our Gospel reading today we see Jesus doing miracles by speaking and touching people. He is able to do that which is impossible, and to do it effortlessly.
So what is the burden we bear? Is it too great for our Lord? Is there any sin that is too great for God to forgive as we bring it to him in sorrowful repentance? Is there any trouble that God cannot handle? Is there any illness which our Lord cannot cure? Is there anything in Scripture which God claims to have done which would be impossible for him if indeed he is the God he reveals himself to be? No, there is nothing that is too great for our Lord. He is the Lord of all.
