Jesus said to the man (with the withered arm), "Stretch out your hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

Luke 6:10 - NKJV

Jesus makes whole. He restores what is shattered, partial or malfunctioning. God has wholeness in mind for you. He wants you to be whole in your spirit, soul and body. He wants you to have wholeness in your relationships, social situations and finances.

If we talk about Jesus, we think about salvation. What is meant by the word "salvation"? It infers a restoration of wholeness! Eternal salvation infers a restoration of wholeness in our relationship with God and a corresponding wholeness in our spirits! This is a spiritual salvation. There is also restoration of wholeness through Jesus for body, soul, social relationships and financial affairs. The man with the withered arm (spoken of in the verse above) shows you how to avail yourself of what is granted to you through Christ. That man put forth the effort of a believing will. He moved to do what previously had been impossible to him. Act.4:10, 1Thes.5:23.

Notice how Jesus requested an action from the disabled man which was impossible for him to do under normal circumstances. Watch how the man then puts forth the effort of a believing will and see how this results in his withered hand being made whole. He received to himself the wholeness Jesus brought to him. He acted on his faith with an action corresponding to his faith. What action is Christ asking of you in your life? Instead of dismissing it as impossible, act upon it in faith. This action of faith could well lead to the restoration of wholeness you are longing for in your life.

May Christ's gift of wholeness be yours
