Hiking (Mountains, part one)

Like so many other Bible statements this is an amazing one.  "And Jesus...went up into a mountain, and sat down there.  And great multitudes came unto Him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed..."  Matthew 15:29, 30

Even a small mountain climbed in blinding darkness is treacherous.  Or a hill walked while in physical pain seems like Everest.  But these people stumbled, fell and ached up that mountain to be healed by Jesus.  The trek demanded fortitude and perseverance.  But the sweaty agony was made sweet because Jesus was there.   They could hear His voice, see His face, or follow where where He had been.  Faith in His ability to heal gave them power to climb to the summit.  Without disappointment, they went home whole.
