Continued Healing, Exorcisms
Jesus Christ heals yet more ill people—and aren’t we all like these two men?
We are blind, but Jesus makes us see!
While these men weren’t supposed to tell people, we Christians are required to tell people—so when God does something amazing for us, don’t be afraid to shout it from the rooftops!
Jesus Christ casts out yet more demons, causing a mute man to speak—and this is what He does for us.
Like we were blind, now we see, and like we were mute, now we sing praises to God!
But the Pharisees hated Him for His ministry and blasphemed the work of the Spirit, saying, “He drives out demons by the ruler of the demons.”
The Harvest is Abundant
Jesus was an exceptionally busy man, going all throughout the region preaching, teaching, and healing.
Throughout His ministry, looking at all the demon-possessed, ill, and lost, He was moved with compassion and lamented, saying, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few.”
Then Jesus urges His disciples, and also us, to pray to the Lord of the Harvest to send out workers into His harvest.
There are countless churches without a Pastor, not just this one, and the church is in need of leaders.
Sheep need a shepherd, and Christians need church, and church needs pastors and ruling elders.
Jesus is one man and so long as He is mortal and a little lower than the angels, He cannot do everything alone—He needs helpers to go out into the harvest.
He summons the principal disciples—the Twelve—together and gives them authority over “unclean spirits” and “sickness.”
An Apostle is one who has learned under Jesus and who is commissioned directly by Jesus Christ to spread the Gospel to the nations.
“Apostle” literally means “sent.”
Simon is listed first among the apostles, then Andrew his brother.
Simon was an important leader in the early church, having the authority to loose and bind and the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.
And Matthew the tax collector!—this is amazing, that the Lord would not only have compassion on someone like this but invite him into the fold and give him authority.
And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Jesus.
We can’t know whether Jesus knew Judas would betray Him yet, but we know that Jesus still loved him even in the end.
And He obviously trusted him enough to make him an Apostle.
Jesus’ ministry was first to the Jews, then to the whole world.
Jesus is the new Israel, the heir of Israel, and its King.
It is only after the King took His throne that He dispatched an invitation to the wider Gentile world.
When the Kingdom comes near, and the King approaches, chaos subsides in His wake, and with every graceful movement comes healing, restoration, forgiveness, and freedom.
And we, the harbingers of the Kingdom are to freely give that which we have freely received: grace.
They are to be totally committed to their mission, not tied down with worldly concerns.
The worker who labors toward the harvest is worthy of his food, but the ministry is not a means to the end of worldly wealth or riches.
Preachers should not be making bank or rolling in dough.
We Baptists, Pentecostals, and non-denominational Christians pay our pastors and ruling elders for food, clothing, housing—necessities without which one cannot live—not for private jets.
