WORD OF THE DAY:

• Transformation

Today’s readings are packed with incredible stories of transformation—stories where people who were once broken, sick, and even dead were radically changed by encountering Jesus. These miracles are not just physical healings; they represent deep spiritual changes that demonstrate Jesus’ power over evil, sickness, and death.

In these passages, we see a man possessed by a legion of demons living in torment, completely isolated from society. No one could control him, and he wandered among the tombs, unable to live a normal life. Yet when Jesus approached, even the demons recognized His authority, calling Him by name,

Jesus, in His mercy, frees the man from the demons, sending them into a herd of pigs, which plunge into the sea.

The people of the town asked Jesus to leave, but the healed man wanted to follow Jesus. Instead, Jesus told him to go home and share what God had done for him. This man became a living testimony of transformation—a beacon of hope in his community.

As Jesus continued His ministry, He was approached by Jairus, a synagogue leader whose daughter was gravely ill. Jairus’s faith led him to beg Jesus for healing. But along the way, another miracle took place. A woman who had been suffering from a bleeding disorder for twelve years reached out to touch Jesus’ garment. Her faith was simple: if she could just touch Him, she believed she would be healed. And she was!

Jesus, sensing the power had gone out from Him, stopped and commended her faith. Meanwhile, Jairus received the devastating news that his daughter had died. But Jesus wasn’t done. He went to Jairus’s house, told him not to be afraid, and raised the little girl from the dead. Imagine the joy, relief, and awe her parents must have felt!

Each of these stories shows us Jesus’ power to bring about not just healing, but total transformation.

These miracles reveal a theme of transformation that goes far beyond physical healing. Each of these transformations reflects the change that Jesus brings to our lives.

The truth is, Jesus still transforms lives today. He takes our brokenness, our sickness, our isolation, and even our spiritual death and replaces them with peace, healing, community, and new life.

When Jesus steps into our lives, His transformative power is radical and complete. He doesn’t just make slight improvements; He changes us from the inside out, just like a nuclear process transforms one element into another.

Like these people, we too can experience transformation through faith in Jesus. Whether we are struggling with internal chaos, external trials, or fear, Jesus has the power to turn things around.

We’re not just slightly improved versions of ourselves; in Christ, we are new creations. And this transformation, once begun, is ongoing.
