The first words of the first chapter of the Bible open with a powerful, foundational truth: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. This shows that God exists and he is eternal. We learn that God is Spirit, and through his creation we can witness his infinite power and wisdom, and be encouraged and inspired by his infinite goodness and holiness.

We have all been sick, injured, in emotional distress, weary, depressed and what we really need is healing. In this passage, we find Jesus healing a lot of different people a lot of different ways. He heals from near; he heals from far; he heals a few; and he heals many. Jesus heals because he goes to the root of the malady.
Paul delivers his famous sermon in Athens, to some of the most intellectual, learned people in all the empire. Despite their wisdom, they were ignorant of the most important knowledge - the knowledge of the one true God. When He sent his Son, Jesus Christ, the guilt of the world was exposed, as the Redeemer was slain and risen again. Now God commands all people everywhere to repent, you and me, and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a gracious command that leads to life.
