JUMPING
AND PRAISING GOD
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: Instantly his feet and
ankles became firm, he junped up, stood, and began to walk and be went with
them into the Temple, walking and jumping and praising God. (Acts 3:1-10).
Reflection. It seems everyone has their
story about how the resurrection touched their lives. Here we have a cripple
from birth, who never knew the joy of walking and running. Peter and John
‘looked straight at him’ and healed him. Jesus had ‘looked at Peter’ when the
cock crew and ‘healed him.’ Two disciples, giving up on Jesus, headed for
Emmaus. Jesus caught up with them and their hearts ‘burned within them.’ All
these instances involve a connection, a relationship. The healing depends on a
response. Our experience of the resurrection calls on us to ‘look.’ ‘This
generation looks for signs and signs will not be given to them.’ Jesus looks
for relationship and that is what gives life.
Prayer. Lord, help us to open our
eyes and see you risen from the dead and coming towards us to give us healing,
hope and joy. Amen.
