3. The disciples found out that Peter's mother-in-law was sick with a fever and told Jesus about her.

4. Jesus goes to her, takes her by the hand and helps her.

5. The fever left her and she waits upon them.

Observations/Interpretations:

I asked myself the significance of POINTS 1&2?

Points 1& 2: Jesus went with James and John to the home of Peter and Andrew after they left the synagogue.

(To be continued)

Implications:
I saw important implications for my own life here. By looking at this passage, I see that Jesus went home with James and John to spend time with Simon, Andrew, Simon's wife, and Simon's mother-in-law after the synagogue service to promote fellowship and bonding. I need to make an effort to have fellowship after the church service instead of zooming out. So my precious wife Chandraleela and I deliberately make an effort to stay to have fellowship after church service.

What I miss a lot is what Pastor Ed used to do after church service when he invited the whole congregation to his place to hang out and bond with other brothers and sisters. We would spend time with each other playing games, talking, etc. It built more bonding among us. Hopefully, we can try that one of these days at our place after church. I love what our church does after service when we have a lunch time so brothers and sisters can hang out and spend time with each other, granted it is not the same as hanging out in a person's home like Jesus did :)

I ask you now dear friend, how is your fellowship after a church service?
Dear friend, if you just leave the church after the service is over, you are missing out. I learned from Jesus the importance of fellowship and bonding. This can be a reality in our life too. After preaching in the synagogue and healing, Jesus did not just go His own way but took the time to take two of His disciples to the home of Simon and Andrew to have fellowship. We can do the same by staying at our church after the service is over to have a fellowship time or go out with people after service is over to have fellowship time. It can happen friend. Don't miss out on fellowship for fellowship builds stronger community.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank you so much for what I have learned from you. After the synagogue service was over, you went over to Simon and Andrew's place to have fellowship. I want to do the same. Help us Oh Lord according to your will. Thank you so much Jesus. Oh Lord fellowship can happen in different ways and we need your help. Help us Oh Lord. Thanks so much Jesus. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen!
