IF JESUS WITHDREW, WOULD YOU NOTICE?
Jesus and His disciples were preaching town to town, when they entered a certain town on the Sabbath and entered the synagogue there. The Pharisees heard that Jesus was there and in order to accuse Him, they asked whether it was lawful to heal on the Sabbath. He answered that it was always lawful to do good. And seeing a man with a paralyzed hand, he healed him. From that time, the Pharisees plotted against Jesus. Becoming aware of this, Jesus “withdrew from there.”
Would you notice if Jesus withdrew? When Jesus withdraws from a place, we should pursue Him. No effective work can be done without Him. We should run after Him, praying that He return to our city and our land to bring revival. Yet, for many, they wouldn’t even notice that He had left. Would you?
PRAYER: Dear Father, give us Jesus and we will have all we need. For without Him, we can do nothing. Forgive us when we make it about the work or the results. For it is always about Your Son. We focus our attention on Jesus today. Wherever Jesus is at work, that’s where we want to be. Even so, Lord bring revival to our city and nation. Do not withdraw from this place. In Jesus’ name, amen.
