Reading: Matthew 15:29-39 I am always amazed at the Lord’s compassion. When great crowds brought to him the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and ‘many others’ (fill in the blank, my friend) and laid them at his feet—Jesus healed them. Nobody was turned away. And what a happy sight that would have been—people…
Reading: Matthew 13:34-36 “… People brought all their sick to him and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who TOUCHED him were healed.” My friend, have you already made the decision to be healed?
Reading: Matthew 14:13-14 “When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick” (v.14) Of course! His compassions never fail, they are new every morning, and He is faithful (Lamentations 3:22).
Reading: Matthew 9:18-34 How many of our desires are unfulfilled—only because we do not believe! If it is the best for us, if it is within God’s will and for his glory—will He not grant it? But we should believe and ask and pursue with wholehearted intent! Ruler: “My daughter has just died. But come…
Reading: Matthew 9:1-8 The teacher was asking questions and the kids were raising their hands. I was squirming in my seat. Normally I was among the active ones in our Sunday School class, but that morning I had questions that I was too embarrassed to ask. One was, I realised now, just a matter of…
“HE THAT WILL ENTER IN MUST FIRST WITHOUT STAND KNOCKING AT THE GATE, NOR NEED HE DOUBT, THAT IS A KNOCKER, BUT TO ENTER IN, FOR GOD CAN LOVE HIM, AND FORGIVE HIS SIN.” – The Pilgrim’s Progress Reading: Matthew 9:1-8 “… When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, son;…
Reading: Matthew 8:5-13 This is probably my favourite story of faith. The centurion asking Jesus to heal his servant, and saying ‘Oh, you don’t even have to come and see him—just say the word!’ What faith! What big, big faith! The centurion relayed an analogy by telling how he, an authority, was able to command…
Reading: Matthew 8:1-4 Several times we read Jesus warning people he has healed to ‘not tell anyone’. Why? I think because Jesus had a mission to accomplish, a healing in a particular place and time could “disrupt” his timetable on earth–being mobbed, being demanded for more signs and wonders (to prove that he was the…
Reading: Matthew 8:1-4 The man with leprosy knelt before Jesus and said “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” If you are willing! Granted, without doubt, the man believed that Jesus could heal. If, for any reason, he was not healed, it was only because God did not will it. Do we…
Reading: Matthew 4:23–9:13 In Matthew 4:12-22, we read when Jesus began to preach and called his disciples. Then in verses 4:23-9:13, we are given a glimpse when he embarked in 2 uninterrupted days of healing and preaching—even late into the night. Healing for the mortal bodies, and healing for the soul. Previous to that, Jesus…
