THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 26: Raising the Dead |
|
Matthew wrote about the day when Jesus called him to
become a disciple. He was a tax collector and despised by Jewish
society, but the God-man came to call sinners to repentance. The
disciples of John the Baptist wanted to know why Jesus’ disciples
did not fast like them. The Son of God replied that it was not
necessary while He was present. Jesus was a superstar, and as He was
going to heal Jairus’ daughter, He was mobbed by a throng of people.
A sick woman reached out to touch the hem of His garment and the Son
of God felt healing power leave His body.
The daughter of Jairus was dead by the time they arrived. The
God-man quietly announced that she was just sleeping and the
mourners laughed with derision. Jesus was not unnerved because He
knew what was going to take place. He gently took her cold hand,
instructed the girl to rise, and the resurrection was instantaneous
as healing power surged throughout her body. These three stories
illustrate the character of Jesus and the good news is that He is
still the same today. |
