Pet in a pit

Hello, blessed brothers and sisters,
Most of us have had a pet at some point in our lives. If our pet had somehow gotten in trouble, we would do whatever to get them out, wouldn’t we?
Jesus said some things about animals in distress. Look at matthew 12,
10and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, they asked him, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?"
11He said to them, "If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out? 12How much more valuable is a man than a sheep!
And then in Luke 14,
2And, behold, there was a certain man before him which had the dropsy.
3And Jesus answering spake unto the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? 4And they held their peace. And he took him, and healed him, and let him go; 5And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?
And also Luke 13,
The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? 16And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
In all three cases, Jesus compares sick people to animals in distress. How many of us, if our animal was in a hole, will pray about whether to help it? Is it the Lord ‘s will or not? Jesus is saying it is always His will to heal people even if it goes crosswise with religious tradition. If you notice in all four books of the gospel, no one who came to Jesus for healing left unhappy. There were no unlucky ones; none that Jesus said ‘it’s not quite your time’ or ‘you need to work on something first’. He healed them all. Even when religion said it’s not time for miracles, (sound familiar? Some denominations say healing is not for today) Jesus healed every one.
‘well, that was Jesus!’ The bible says that Jesus emptied Himself of all supernatural ability and became a man as we are. He only did what He saw the Father do. So what does that mean? Jesus was the perfect representation of the unchanging will of God for all men for all time!! Go back to the four gospel accounts and read it like it’s His will and desire for you, today. Because it is, glory to God!
Selah (let it soak in). I love you all.
healed by His stripes,
