Take heart.
Have courage.
Be of good cheer.
Be bold in the face of adversity.
Yes, take heart.
These are the words that our Lord tells to each of us- his sons and daughters- his disciples.
First, in Matthew 9:2-
Have courage.

These are the words that our Lord tells to each of us- his sons and daughters- his disciples.
First, in Matthew 9:2-
"Take heart, my son," He says when speaking to a poor paralytic in his own town, "Your sins are forgiven."
Take courage, because you have met the Saviour of humanity.
Take heart, because your sins have been forgiven.
Take heart, my brothers, for He calls you "Son".
Second, in Matthew 9:22-
"Take heart, daughter," He told the woman with the issue of blood moments after healing her. "Your faith has made you well."
Take courage, because you have touched the hem of his garment.
Take heart, because by faith, you have been made well.
Sister, take heart, for he has called you "daughter".
And lastly, he calls us all as disciples in Matthew 14:27-
"Take heart: it is I. Do not be afraid," Jesus says to his fearful, weather-battered, and worn disciples.
Take heart, for he has come.
Do not fear, for he is here- He is always right here.
Do not be afriad.
Take heart.

Take heart, because your sins have been forgiven.
