Interpretation – Revelation

Losing Faith Finding God

Reading the three Gospels, we see that after leaving the Synagogue, Jesus comes to peters house and sees his wife’s mother laid in a certain place.

The woman is sick of a fever. This means not feeling well in a state of nervous excitement or agitation.

They came to show Jesus to her quickly where they had left her.

Jesus come to help in doing something, addressing the issues at hand and sees a person who does something to a specified standard.

When Jesus recognizes the issues, he express sharp disapproval or criticism to her because of their behavior or actions.

She arises and tells Jesus what is wrong.

Once Jesus calms her down, he then also helps others using the Truth. He shows people the errors of their ways.

Jesus invokes the word of Isiah and what it truly means.

Jesus is the master of breaking down what is really the issues bothering us all whether we know it or not, the master at his craft. Jesus never places his own personal emotions in a statement. Rather he says things in a many that cannot be disputed. They are perfect. By doing this, his emotions, though concealed, light the way for all those who value the truth.
