Determined

Luke 9:38A man in the crowd called out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him. 40I begged your disciples to drive it out, but they could not."
Before when I read this story, I focused on the lesson that I thought Jesus was trying to teach through it. But today when reading it, I looked at the man and the determination that he showed. He took his child to the disciples but they could not drive out the problem. He could have given up, looked at it as his destiny. Looked at his situation as hopeless. But he did not. He believed there was something to this Jesus. Something healing. Like Leia says is star wars "You are my only hope".
