"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 and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' fee; and He healed them." Matthew 15: 29, 30
There are times in the journey that bearing the weight of the injured is enough to make one become a casualty. Their sorrow and suffering, their unending needs, ones own lack of resources can beat down until you feel like one of the walking wounded. But there is a gift in accompanying the crippled soul up to a mountain; when we get there we find Jesus. What we may suffer in getting them to Christ vanishes when we see them healed. We climb down the mountain wearing bruises and scars that may last a life time, but what joy to see the lame walk and the blind see.
