Luke 4:39 “So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.”
It is very likely that in Simon’s house, everyone slept on the floor. In many places in the world today this is still the custom. So, Jesus coming to ‘stand over’ her was not strange as it meant simply that He walked up to her bedside.
The word rebuke is interesting as well. It is as if Jesus spoke to the fever, telling it to leave. If Jesus can speak to the winds and the waves, surely fevers are no different!
Heavenly Father, can we ever understand You? And yet we will spend our entire lives trying. You are the focus of our deepest studies, and the subject of our greatest desires. All that we have and are begins and ends with You. We will praise You, for You have done all things well. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
