It's Day 31 and we're in Matthew 8.
Where God Spoke To Me:
- Verse 10 - It's hard to underestimate how prized faith is to Jesus.
Help:
-
Verse 10 - The centurion shows faith by believing that if Jesus speaks
the word it will happen. He has confidence in Jesus' power, even sight
unseen.
-
Verses 18 - Why would He do that? Most likely, given the previous two
verses, is that most of the people were coming not to hear the truth but
the see the miracles. For Jesus, the miracles were primarily useful as
signs that pointed people to the truth.
-
Verses 21-22 - The presumption here is that the man's father was not
yet passed yet, but that the man was asking for permission to wait until
his father's death to begin to follow Jesus.
-
Verse 34 - Why would they plead with Jesus to leave? Apparently they
prized their property (the pigs) more than the man's changed life and
therefore decided having Jesus around was too risky.
