Episode 10: Lifted Up: Christ’s Freedom for the BentDown

In Luke 13:10–17, Jesus sees a woman bent down for eighteenyears and sets her free to stand tall again. This short devotion explores how Christ still lifts us today—body, mind, and spirit—and calls us to join Him in lifting others.

✨ Takeaways

1. Jesus meets us in the places where we feel bent down, by worry, illness, injustice, or despair and offers freedom.

2. God's kingdom cannot be shaken, and His consuming fire burns away all that binds and oppresses.

3. To follow Christ is to stand tall in His love and to help others rise in dignity.

🌿 Action Invitation

This week, offer one act of compassion or advocacy for someone “bent down”—a word of encouragement, a prayer, or a small act of justice that helps them stand a little taller.
