Jesus our Healer

Matthew 9:18 - 26


18 While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him and said, "My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her and she will live." 19 Jesus got up and went with him so did his diciples.

 ²⁰ Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. ²¹ She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”

 ²² Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment.

 ²³ When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes, ²⁴ he said,“Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep.” But they laughed at him. ²⁵ After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up. ²⁶ News of this spread through all that region.

As i immerse myself into that time as an observer of the passage, it is really very amazing to see that miracle. Imagine yourself watching a dead person coming alive again. All the strangers and people are looking at the miracle performed by Jesus.

I will be spreading the news all over the WORLD for this is a miracle. GOD IS GOD

Jesus, you are the Healer. By knowing and watching and experiencing this story in the passage, faith has rise and more am i closer to our Lord

Lets end this by the Lord's Prayer

Our Father who ark in Heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day your daily bread
Forgive us for our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into the temptation
but Deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom
the power and the glory
forever and ever
AMEN

Jesus our Healer

What would Jesus Do>?

Im after Mercy not Religion

ever wandered what Jesus meant when He said these words?
When have you felt like the outsider in MAtthew 9:9-13
When have people scrutinized and criticized you for the people you associated with?
Do you think their judgement was fair?

when i thought and read this chapter of the Word, i thought it was rather straight forward, MAtthew the tax collector had supper with Jesus in his house and the other people teased and criticized Jesus.

However, if we think more and deeper into the word and reflect on ourselves, have we been like JEsus? associating with the wrong crowd or people?
maybe ? yes no?
People used to tell me, do not make friends with these, do not associate with those people?
What would Jesus do?
What will Jesus do when there is a person we can reach out to but he is a criminal?
What will Jesus do when a outcasted person is lying on the road asking for help?
What will Jesus do when bad people need forgiveness?

Come to think about it, i was one of those people. In fact, we were those people.
We received forgiveness from God's mercy and God's Grace.
Why would we then not forgive or neglect other people?
Why would we not associate with those people because the world says so?
If that is the case, we should not associate with "US"

Thank you Oh Lord for your forgiveness, mercy and grace.
Teach us and show us to forgive and accept others
Lead us not into the temptation of other people
Deliver us from the evil thoughts of the world.
Thank you Jesus
