LAST WEEK
We heard a very encouraging word from our Intern Pastor, Jaime Solis!
He talked about how we are to always remember where God found us
The need remember what He has called us to.
Check it out on our Podcast & YouTube Channel
THIS WEEK
We will continue in our series through the Gospel of Matthew
We will be finishing
We will be looking at the Restorative Characteristic of God
We will be looking at the intricacies of the miraculous
We will also be looking at how the legalistic and the spirit filled have differing perspectives
The World needs to know that the Church is a source of reconciliation
They need to know that we have what they need
They need to know that this place is a refuge for those looking for reconciliation
That this place is not a courtroom where people are proclaimed guilty
But a place where guilt is balanced by a plan of reconciliation.
READ
Matthew 9:18-34
PRAY THAT GOD WOULD RESTORE UNTO US A CHILD LIKE FAITH THAT IS ABLE TO HEAL OUR DEEPEST WOUNDS & THE DEADLY DISEASES IN OUR LIVES.
Matthew 9:18
As Jesus was teaching and preaching
A Ruler came to Jesus and worshiped him
What kind of Ruler was he?
Most believe that He was an Official from one of the local Synagogues
As he came to Jesus, it says that he fell down and worshipped him.
Proskyneo: “Prosquenow”
To bow down in obeisance
To prostrate oneself
To bow down and pay homage to
It was while this ruler worshipped Jesus, that he simultaneously proclaimed his need
His Daughter had just died
Because of the Jewish custom, he had little time before she would be buried
So this man, leaves his family
Leaves those who are in mourning
In faith that what He had heard about Jesus was actually true
He comes to Jesus and asks two things:
1. Come to my home
2. Place your hand on her
Because in doing these things she will be healed.
How many of us ask questions knowing that God is able?
Knowing that He is Good
Knowing that He wants to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ask or think?
So what did Jesus do?
Jesus
He aligned himself with his calling
He remembered why He had come to this earth
He remembered what was prophesied about him
The things he would do for the people He came to save
But before He could respond to this mans need . . .
But on his way to the Ruler’s home, something happened . . .
A woman who had been bleeding for about 12 years approached Jesus
WHO WAS THIS WOMAN?
This woman would not only be considered a sinner in light of her uncleanness
This woman would not only be considered a sinner for the lack of Health in her life
But she would also be cut off from any type of spiritual activity
According to
She would not be able to approach those who are clean
She would not be able to approach those who are clean
Every bed she’d lay on
Every seat she’d sit on
Would be considered unclean.
Would need to be ceremonially cleansed
Would remind her that she needed a savior
This woman could not rest without being reminded of her lack.
On a spiritual level, she would not be able to worship or celebrate her God in any way.
Socially, what would be done if this unclean woman was making her way through the crowd to get to Jesus
Wouldn’t the crowd be yelling unclean?
Wouldn’t some legalists be looking to stone her?
Wouldn’t their be a strong commotion?
Wouldn’t
However, in her lack, in her need, in her spiritual depravity, she knew her God was bigger than her isolation.
She musters up the courage to
Approach Jesus
To come near despite what people were saying of her
To put her life on the line for the sake of her health
For a woman to approach a man in such a way would be seen as provocative
For a woman to put the Spiritual Rhythms of the crowd at stake was deadly
But because of the reputation of Jesus
Because of what Jesus was known for
Because of His Nature
She wasn’t going to let anything hinder her faith in who Jesus was.
She fully believed
That all she needed to do to be made well
Her faith told her that:
Would be to touch His garment
If I only would be able to touch His garment
I know I would be made well
She was in such desperation that she was willing to put her life on the line in hopes that Jesus was who He said He was.
But in order for that to happen, she had to put her life on the line.
As soon as Jesus felt his healing power leave his body
He turned around and looked right at her
Instead of condemning her
Instead of proclaiming her unclean
Instead of reminding her of her spiritual and physical state
He calls her daughter
He encourages her to be of good cheer
Tharsei
To have courage
To allow the Love of God for her to remove all fear.
Then Jesus does the unthinkable
