I am a Jesus pusher!!! The disciples respond immediately to Jesus’ call; why don’t we? Disease responds immediately to the voice of Jesus. Jesus came down from the mountain after delivering the Sermon on the Mount. He put into living activity the theology He taught. A leper approached Him asking for healing. Jesus embraced him and spoke these words: “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed (Matthew 8:3). His disease left immediately without debate or argument. Every illness must come under the control of Jesus without delay.
Two blind men cried out to Jesus. So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him (Matthew 20:34). Jesus approached another man lying by the pool. Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked (John 5:8- 9). Mark reports that Jesus took the hand of Peter’s mother-in-law who was sick with a fever. And immediately the fever left her. And she served them (Mark 1:31). All of nature responds immediately to the call of Jesus. Is there any reason for us to do less? I am alert to His call; I will respond immediately. I am a Jesus pusher!!!
