Open Letter to “the sick”

Simon’s mother-in-law was sick in bed with a fever, and as soon as Jesus arrived, he was told about her. He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. The fever left her, and she began to wait on them. (Mark 1:30, 31 GNT)

There is a power behind this story.

For some reason, I have many times overlooked this story; probably because of the shortness of the story, consequently overlooking the significance and power behind it. It is recorded in just two verses but the outcome is a wowing experience.

Unexplainable events

It’s hard to explain why bad things happen; especially to good people. When you look at the run of events in the last few weeks, one can only wonder why things happen.
We can talk about the Boston marathon bombing and explain it away that wicked people performed wicked deeds or the current intense fighting between the military and Islamic militants in northern Nigeria that have seen at least 185 lose their lives. We can explain that by saying these people have been brainwashed or something along those lines. But how can one explain the earthquake in China leaving 188 deaths so far? Who do you blame for such?
The only reason why we can explain any of these away is that they have become a norm in our societies. This however does not explain the whys! There is no explanation whatsoever that justifies taking another life!
