"The Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil." - "Come and STAND in Front of Everyone"

Let us focus for a moment on the emotions that were and still are aroused by the power of Jesus in action! Yes, when Jesus steps in, He demonstrates His love, grace, favor and mercy with awesome acts of POWER!

In The Gospel of Mark, chapter 3:1-5, we see Jesus being Jesus in front of those who criticized Him, those who were a threat to Him, those who dispised Him and those who would do harm to Him...but here is our Lord standing boldly and powerfully in the company of His enemies to show Himself strong and mighty for the person who has an issue...a person who is in need of help.

You see, Jesus knows all and sees all. He spoke to this man by saying, "Come and stand in front of everyone." (Mark 3:3) Jesus then challenged the naysayers on their legalism by questioning the law by asking if it was permissible to do good deeds on the Sabbath or is it a day for doing evil? You see, when Jesus steps in, He's not concerned with those who are ignorant of His authority. He is not put off by non-believers or by their thoughts towards Him. He doesn't operate in hiding or in seclusion but right out in front of it all..."Come and stand in front of everyone."

When you call on the name of Jesus, He'll call you to "Come and stand in front of everyone." He will do a Mighty work in front of your enemies, in front of your community, in front of your home boys and girlfriends, in the face of addiction, in spite of your past and even in the face of your own feeling of unworthiness! He will overcome your physical, emotional and societal afflictions with power and might. He will restore you in the power of His love and compassion that He has for you!

There are no special days in which this will occur and there is no legal authorities that can prevent Jesus from calling you to "Come and stand in front of everyone."...TODAY is the day that The Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! TODAY was made for you to be restored and made whole, regardless of who doesn't like it!!

Jesus went into the synagogue again and noticed a man with a deformed hand. Since it was the Sabbath, Jesus’ enemies watched him closely. If he healed the man’s hand, they planned to accuse him of working on the Sabbath. Jesus said to the man with the deformed hand, “Come and stand in front of everyone.”  Then he turned to his critics and asked, “Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?” But they wouldn’t answer him. He looked around at them angrily and was deeply saddened by their hard hearts. Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” So the man held out his hand, and it was restored! (Mark 3:1‭-‬5 NLT)
