Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

His grace as we see a day in the life of the ministry of Jesus Christ.

It starts out with a private moment, it starts out with a private moment.

As I mentioned earlier, Jesus and his new followers had just left the synagogue where he taught with authority, and he delivered a demonic man demonic possessed, man.

And we can just imagine then that the Disciples of Jesus were no doubt on cloud.

Nine, I mean they probably just floated from the synagogue to Peter's house.

They were up here after all the things that they had witnessed and seen that day, now, just as it was on on our Sunday, it was customary for them to take the main Sabbath meal immediately after synagogue at the sixth hour at noon.

We're told that they are on their way to Peter's house.

Looks very interesting about Simon's house is that archaeologist found this home in 1968 found the ruins of the home.

As a matter of fact, Barbara and Linda Foster had been there at this home.

Several years ago when they visited their Israel back and say, hey, I know this place I've I've been there but it was a remarkable thing here.

Verse 29 tells us Now, as soon as they had come out of the synagogue, they entered the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.

But Simon's wife's mother, lay sick with a fever and they told him about her at once.

And so instead of a delicious and hot Sabbath feast.

Instead, they found a sick cook.

And this is not the way to return home from church, right?

Especially if you're the preacher.

And honestly Peter probably had no idea that his mother-in-law was even sick.

But she is sick and she is sick with a fever.

and she is most likely not Gravely ill But she is incapacitated, she is very weak.

She's unable to do anything.

I Fever made her feel so sick to made her feel too sick to do anything and you know, you've been sick.

You had fever, it makes you feel awful.

What verse 31 recounts would happen?

Verse 31 says, so he came Jesus came and took her by the hand and lifted her up and immediately the fever left her.

And she served them.

I noticed here that the manner in which Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law.

Luke says, in the parallel account and Luke chapter 4 that Jesus stood over her, and rebuked the fever in Matthews account.

It states that Jesus touched her.

Here and Mark, will you read that?

He took her by the hand.

And so, we have these through these three eyewitnesses.

We had this composite picture of Christ standing close to her bed, taking her by the hand, rebuking her fever, and gently raising her up before Peter, and all that was in Peter's home.

Listen to point is Jesus healed, her and Jesus could have used any way too pleased to heal her.

As a matter of fact, the gospel out reveal that it many times.

He did Miracles with just a simple word, right?

Or with something as complicated as clay, made with spittle and then the instructions, then that they were to wash in the pool of Siloam.

He could have done Miracles.

Anyway, he wished But I want what I want you to focus on this morning is Jesus reaching down and Jesus.

Taking a dear Woman by the hand and, and, and doing this was a simple natural reaction of love.

Jesus had four people.

He cared for individuals, he cared for people.

This was a natural instinctive action that just sprung from the life of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Later, Jesus did virtually the same thing in verse 41 with a leper.

Which was something absolutely unheard of in his time.

So Jesus, Jesus extended his hand, was simply an expression of his genuine Love and Desire to tenderly meet the woman's need.

And what's so interesting about this Is that this is done in private.

This is done within the home of Peter and only Peter and his family are in this home.

This is not done for the multitude to see.

This is done just for Jesus and those within that house to see

I think there's something for us here that we can glean from and that is sometimes I think we do good.

Deeds or attempted to do.

Good.

Deeds.

Not so much in private.

but in public, So that anybody and everybody can see what we have done.

And if that is our motive than we have done them in the wrong way.

Jesus, did this because he loved Jesus did this because he has compassion on those until we see Jesus touch her and heal her.

We also see the woman's heart response.

And that she immediately, she gets up and she served them.

She waited on them.

Her response is The Telltale sign of everyone who has truly received the healing touch of Christ in Salvation.

And our response to him should be like that of the talkative woman who received Christ, under Charles spurgeon's Ministry and said, oh mr.

Spurgeon crisis, change my life.

And he shall never hear the end of it, a man.

Going back to Peter's house.

Think about this, that must have been a great meal, right?

That must have been a fantastic meal.

I believe it was great because she did her best with whatever she had.

But it was also great because of the way it was served.

It was great because of all the excitement here.

She was sick, she couldn't do anything.

She was in bed, she had a fever And I can just imagine Peter's mother-in-law saying to her daughter and saying to Peter her son-in-law and James and John.

Hey still my head, it's cool.

Now he was on fire, I was burning slap up but listen now I feel so much better.

The Lord be praised.

You've been there.

You ever had a fever when you go to bed with a fever, you feel awful.

But you wake up the next day.

The fever is gone.

You feel crate.

And you say, praise the Lord, praise God, that's what this lady does.

But it's much more than just her going to bed and waking up 8 hours later.

This is something more tangible than that.

This is a lady who was at one moment sick, but the next moment, she's healed.

So you just imagine the excitement on her face and in her mood, as you serve.

That meal in that private moment.

That takes us to a public moment.

As evening approaches.

An unmistakable air of anticipation settled over compared to him.

For, with the conclusion of the Sabbath, it is, then that the sick and the deranged, the demon-possessed to be carried to Jesus.

The law said that the Sabbath ended when three stars came out in the night sky.

and so when the sun had said in those stars were out, the people came all verses 32 and 33 toy houses, that gives a picture of this.

At evening, when the sun has said, they brought to him all who were sick and those who are demon-possessed, and the whole city was gathered together at the door, it's very interesting that the tenses of these, words indicate that case, after case came unto him, man, after man, woman after woman arrived at the door.

So that finally, there was a mess of crippled disease.

People.

There was a mass of demon possessed people who came at this door.

And no doubt the crowds of people must have been very overwhelming for Peter and all those in his household.

But we see Jesus hard here.

It just naturally responded, and healing power verse.

34 says, then he healed, many, who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons.
