Who Initiated Our Salvation?

This morning we studied Luke 13:10-17 about how Jesus healed a woman who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. The woman was bent over and could not straighten up at all. One of our sisters actually had a relative like that.

What is amazing in this story is that Jesus took complete initiatives to call this woman over and talked with her and set her free. He also put his hands on her to strengthen her up.

What did the woman do? She was in the synagogues on a Sabbath day. That was it! Probably used to her infirmity and suffering, she didn't ask for help like other people who were healed in the Bible.

We shared how God had helped us in different stages of our lives, in China, Korea, Hong Kong, and the United States. We thanked God for loving us and taking the initiatives to help us. Like that woman, we can praise God!
