Family Devotional: Peter in His Home
Author: Harry Foster
Reading: Mark 1:29-34.
It is quite clear that Peter was a family man. It must have been difficult for him, finding serious sickness at home just when he wanted to show hospitality to his newly found Lord; so, instead of helping Jesus, Peter had to ask Jesus to help him and his family.
This the Lord promptly did, by healing his mother-in-law so completely that she was able to prepare a meal for the party and serve it herself.
By the time the meal was eaten most of Capernaum‵s citizens were gathered around Peter‵s front door, and many found healing from Christ‵s own hands.
So we see that before Peter went out to work for Christ in the world, he had a testimony to the Lord‵s sufficiency there in his own home. This is where we should all start.
