Jesus, your personal saviour

Sometimes people will say their problems are too small to bother God with. Other times, the problems are too big. In the first chapter of Mark we see Jesus perform three healings, two big and one small, to remind us that Jesus is interested in helping no matter what.

88. God's coming down as the Divine Truth but without separating the Divine Good is evident from the Lord's conception, about which we read that 'the power of the Most High overshadowed Mary' (Luke 1:35). The 'power of the Most High' means the Divine Good. The same point can be established by the passages in which He says that the Father is in Him and He in the Father; that all things of the Father's are His; and that He and the Father are one, and many more. 'Father' means the Divine Good.
