The Miracles Of Jesus And Their Flip Side
Miracle narratives from the Revised Common Lectionary with a fresh look at the other side of the story
A hole-patched Capernaum roof reminded many who saw
one paralyzed with guilt and near bitterness of life,
whom friends willingly transported on invalid's stretcher.
We, too, must give up fault-finding and celebrate healing.
Late that evening, by a Capernaum neon light, no doubt, Peter and his brother, Andrew, had some roof patching to do on their mother-in-law's house. There may have had to be other repairs also, from that crowd jamming the inside and outside to get a look at and hear this new wonder worker of Galilee.
