Two Sides

We often hear the saying that there are two sides to every story. We tend to only believe one, and often the other is rancid and worthless, a fiction used to prop up sin and lies. Yet even these stories are useful; they show us the lengths that sin will trod to keep its hold on us, and warn us against our own deceptive hearts. Today, Jesus will heal more people, showing his power and his might. And while much faith in him will be demonstrated, we also get examples of the “other side of the story”; those who stand in unbelief and denial. Let us consider both sides this morning!
