Can't believe it is the first day of the last month of the year!! December already!!
Chapter 9:
1-8 is this the same paralytic man that was spoke of that was lowered thru the roof? I love the statement at the end of verse 6 "Get up take your mat and go home".
9 is this the same Matthew that we are reading from?? (I have so many questions?? thanks to all that are helping me understand these things you are AWESOME!!) I also love what Jesus response is to them casting stone for eating with sinners/tax collectors in verse 12 "It is not the healthy who need the Dr. but the sick. But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice. (refer to Hosea 6:6) For I have not come to call the righteous but the sinners."
22-26 oh the faith of this women to just touch is robe she knew she would be healed...... so many times I have reached for the robe! Then He took the girl by the hand... PRECIOUS!!
29-31 Jesus restores the sight of 2 men but tells them not to tell anyone... When I first read this I have to admit I was casting stones on these 2 jokers. After all Jesus just healed them and told them not to tell anyone and they go tell everyone (although it would be hard to be blind and not being able to get along then being able to see you would want to tell the world.) But Jesus tells us not to gossip and we do... so I guess I should not pass judgement on these 2 guys. It is amazing to me how we do the exact opposite sometimes of what Jesus tells us to do.
37 I feel like this question is not just for the disciple but for all of us!! "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest therefore, to send OUT workers into his harvest fields." Those that need to hear of the Lord my not be in your own field you may have to go OUT and look in order to tell them of HIS GREAT LOVE!!
