I Offer Everything

Juan Diego Jaramillo | August 4th, 2021

I offer everything I own to whoever can find the cure for such a strange disease of my body! A very wealthy young executive, owner of many properties and numerous cattle, exclaimed in his irremediable tribulation; he was visited by specialists from India, Japan, United States, Cuba and Colombia; but one by one, frustrated and confused, they abandoned the man submerged in his desperate and mortal illness.

What was so complicated that did not allow them to find the decompensation of his life, much less its solution, to those doctors with so much academic preparation? In the midst of the confusing situation, a young nurse proposed to the merchant, on his bed of affliction, to introduce him to someone who was a witness of the power and mercy of Jesus, the Son of God; but in an unexpected, abrupt and uneducated manner, he threatened her saying: "if you name that gentleman again (referring to Jesus Christ), I have the power to have you expelled from this hospital, and perhaps, leave you without a professional future". Two months after the warning, he inevitably died.

This unfortunate and frustrating story offers logical responses to incomprehensible deaths of young, healthy people.

Mark 9:23-24 NKJV

23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”
24 Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

Mark 10:46-48 NKJV

46 Now they came to Jericho. As He went out of Jericho with His disciples and a great multitude, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the road begging. 47 And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”

48 Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”

Matthew 13:57-58 NKJV

57 So they were offended at Him.

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” 58 Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
