An Average Day in the Life of Christ
Series: Miracles

Luke 4:31-41
When the sun comes up we don't really know how the day is going to turn out. We might think we do but until the day is over we can't know. We've all come to the end of a long day and said, ''That was some day. Hope I don't have too many more like that!'' On the other hand, we've all come to the end of a long day and said, ''That was some day. I hope tomorrow is just as good!'' We all hope for more of the second and fewer of the first.

37 And the report about Him went out into every place in the surrounding region.
38 Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon's house. But Simon's wife's mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her.
