A sign of the coming of the Messiah or the Anointed One or Redeemer is that He heals infirmities and feeds the hungry. Hence, crowds followed Him. We should find ourselves among those crowds, even though we are separated from the facts of the gospel by 20 or 21 centuries. What jars at our being is a lie. What troubles us is our fleeing the truth. Our being is undermined by our tendency to buy into the old temptation of the devil, that we have become gods, since we ate the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden. We are afraid to be needy and hungry. He insists that we can be independent and that we are the source of our own redemption. We are convinced to live the lie of our utter perfect state. The truth is the opposite, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. God seeks the imperfect to perfect them, and He seeks the hungry so that He could feed them.
