The Man With the Palsy: Strength Restored by a Word

A devotional reflection on Jesus healing the man bedridden with palsy.

Miracles of Restoration

Jesus restores strength where weakness has lingered. This man lay helpless, unable to move. Jesus spoke a simple command, and strength returned instantly. The miracle revealed His authority and compassion.

Arise, take up thy bed. (Matthew 9:6)

He arose, and departed to his house. (Matthew 9:7)

They marvelled. (Matthew 9:8)

Sample Prayer

Lord, restore my strength. Help me rise and walk in Your power. Amen.

Hymns for Miracles of Restoration
