    Jairus reached out on behalf of his daughter, the woman in the crowd reached out to Jesus for herself, and the crowd just wanted to be near to Jesus. How about us?

    Isaiah 40 opens with a command from God’s heart: “Comfort, comfort my people.” Not “explain everything,” not “fix everything,” but comfort them. You’ve stood at hospital bedsides, gravesides, kitchen tables where bills and diagnoses stack up, and you’ve whispered, “What do I even say?” Isaiah ...read more
