Matthew 7-9

Chapter 7 - There is so many practical truths in this chapter as Christ teaches the masses. I am thankful that Christ taught so us simple people could understand, yet with such authority that we could not mistake his Deity.

Chapter 8 & 9 - Jesus shows his power! What an amazing account of some of the miracles Christ performed and to read about the people who believed He was God and trusted in Him not only to heal their bodies but to forgive their sins. Those people must have been so thankful and elated to have their loved ones healed, raised from the dead and freed from the captivity of demon spirits. I am sure people were going crazy with stories and accounts of what the man Jesus had done in their town. I am so thankful Jesus came not to only heal wordly pain and affliction but to give us the gift of eternal life and freedom from sin - the ultimate disease we struggle with as humans.
