GOSPEL NUGGET #466

Mt 15:30 Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus' feet, and He healed them.

We have here a lookalike of spiritual salvation. What happened here in the physical realm is comparable to the spiritual realm. You see, we are all sinners. We all have a spiritual defect. We all have a spiritual handicap.

We are spiritually lame---we don't walk right.
We are spiritually blind---we don't see right.
We are spiritually mute---we don't talk right.
We are spiritually maimed---we don't do things right.
We are wrong. We are not right.

Just as the lame, the maimed, the mute and the blind were laid down at Jesus' feet, we also need to be humble, acknowledge our handicap and helplessness, and allow and not resist the ministry of the Holy Spirit to lay us down at Jesus' feet, in a condition of dependence upon Him for deliverance.

Come to Christ. Lie at His feet, trusting in Him and what He did on the cross and be spiritually healed.
