A Helping Hand
The story of Jesus healing Peter’s mother-in-law is brief but it occurs in three of the four Gospels. It’s also pretty problematic to our modern sensibilities, with overtones of sexism and ableism. Fair enough. So what if we read it not as a one-size-fits-all prescription but the description of one person’s life-giving interaction with Jesus. When have you received a helping hand from Jesus, God, the Spirit, the Universe in your life? And have you said thank you? (Mark 1:29-39)
