Jesus Meeting Hunan Needs In chapters 8 and 0 of Matthew are grouped a number of. miracles which exhibit the power of Jesus -Christ over the chief foes of men^-slcknessr, sin, satanlc power, death, and storms. It Ts fitting that thejTshbuid be grouped^ here following tlx# laws of the king dom. for they show the king's powefi to administer the affairs of the kfog dom and produce within bis subjects the graces of character demanded by these laws. It would make the lesson too long to attempt to consider all these miracles. Therefore certain of the most outstanding should be selected. I. Jesus Heals a Leper (8:1-4). I. The dreadful disease (v. 2). lep rosy was the most loathsome and hopeless disease known. In the Jewish ritual it was regarded as a symbol of sin. Just as leprosy was lncurablo by man. so only the Divine Physician can cure sin. rile leper's faith (v. 2). Ills cry was most pitiable, but his faith was strong. He fully believed that Jesus was able, but was uncertain as to his willingness, to heal hi in. 3. Jesus' power (v. 3). He put forth his hand and touched the leper, bidding the disease to depart, and In stantly the man was cleansed. II. Jesus Hecfts the Centurion's Ser vant (8 :fi-13>. 1. The disease (v. 0.). It was paralysis. In paralysis the victim Is helpless. 2. The centurion's humility (v. 8). He first sent the Jewish elders and then his friends (Luke 7:3, 0) because he felt his own unworthlness. The condition of this servant was so grave that his master brushed aside timidity and personally appealed to Jesus. 3. The centurion's faith (vv. 8, 9). He believed that if Jesus would but speak the word his servant would be healed. Ills faith wus so remarkable that Jesus marveled because it was not like anything he had discerned among the chosen people. 4. The wonderful power of Jesus (v. 13). He did not even need to see the helpless man nnd touch him, but needed only to speak the word and It was done. III. Jeau? Heals Peter's Mother In Law (8:14, 15). This woman was sick of a fever. Jesus was Invited into Peter's homq to heal her, and upon his touching the hand of the patient the fever left her. IV. Jesus Casts Out Demons (8:28-34). After stilling the tempest, Jesus crossed to the other side of the sea Into heathen territory. 1. Met by two men possessed by demons (v. 2.8). These men were in a desperate condition (Mark ft; 1-17, and Luke 8:27). So fierce were they that no one could safely pass that way. Many today nre demon possessed and their number Is Increasing (I Tim 4:1). 2. What they knew about Christ (v. 25)). They knew that he was the Son of (?od nnd that he had come to destroy the devil and his work. Among demons there Is no doubt as to the deity of Jesus Christ and the Judg ment to come. 3. Limitation of the devil's power (v. ,-J1). Although t he devil Is mighty In power, he cannot even enter a hog without God's permission. 4. Christ's power to deliver from the devil (vv. 30-'I2). The demons quailed before hlrn. not daring to dispute his power, but begged permission to enter the swine. V. Jesus Opening the Eyes of Two Blind Men (0:27-31). 1. The Intelligence of faith (v. 27). They cried unto him ns the Son of David which showed they recognized him as the promised Messiah. The prophet had foretold such to be the works of the Messinh (Isa. 20:18. 3r>:r?, 41:7) 2. The persistence of faith (v. 28). These poof men bad heard' of the won derfnl works of Jesus. This wrought In them a desire to be healed. They, therefore, followed him along the way crying out for help. 3. The challenge of faith (v 28) In reply to his challenge they gave him a definite answer. 4. The triumph of faith (vv 20 30). Their faith brought them lnt<> touch with the Lord of life, who opened their eyes. Our (jiving Mmaur* I Cod's great purpose In wanting men to give to him Is that me may be en n bled to give more abundantly to them. It Is Impossible for a mnn to give anything to Ood that does not come back to the man a thousandfold T acl The observance of tact, the unlver sally lauded, depends chiefly dp the omission of certain actions, or even more often of words. To say the right thing at the right tlmo to the right person Is perfection.
