We matter to Jesus in every aspect of our lives, as illustrated through lessons from Luke chapters 7 and 8. Jesus cares for our suffering, fears, and doubts, as seen in His miracles of healing and deliverance.  He acknowledges human brokenness, addressing religious misconceptions and offering grace to sinners, as demonstrated in His interaction with the sinful woman. Jesus also upholds the value of all people, regardless of status, affirming that in His kingdom, we are all equal before the cross. Lastly, the Parable of the Sower and the Soils challenges us to examine how we receive and respond to God's Word, calling us to faith, transformation, and commitment.
