I have heard all about you, LORD.
I am filled with awe by your amazing works.
In this time of our deep need,
help us again as you did in years gone by.
And in your anger,
remember your mercy.
Habakkuk 3:2

…“Praise God!
Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the LORD!
Blessings on the coming Kingdom of our ancestor David!
Praise God in highest heaven!”
“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?”
Jesus asked.
“Anything is possible if a person believes.”
The father instantly cried out,
“I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”
…they traveled through Galilee.
Jesus didn’t want anyone to know he was there,
for he wanted to spend more time with his disciples
and teach them. He said to them,
“The Son of Man is going to be betrayed
into the hands of his enemies.
He will be killed,
but three days later he will rise from the dead.”
Then he added, “Pay close attention to what you hear.
The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given—
and you will receive even more.
To those who listen to my teaching,
more understanding will be given.
But for those who are not listening,
even what little understanding they have
will be taken away from them.”
The farmer plants seed by taking God’s word to others.
And the seed that fell on good soil
represents those who hear and accept God’s word
and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times
as much as had been planted!”
Moved with compassion,
Jesus reached out and touched him.
“I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!”
Instantly the leprosy disappeared,
and the man was healed.
This is the Good News about Jesus the Messiah,
the Son of God.
It began just as the prophet Isaiah had written:
“Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,
and he will prepare your way.
He is a voice shouting in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the LORD’s coming!
Clear the road for him!’”
