Devotional: Matthew 9:18-26

Today’s passage: Matthew 9:18-26

Helpful thoughts:

  • There are two displays of faith in today’s passage.
  • The woman was considered “unclean”.  For her to reach out and touch someone who was “clean” was unacceptable.  But remember, when Jesus touches, He makes things clean.
  • Jesus now shows that He has authority even over death.
  • His great authority was a comfort to those who had faith.

Questions to consider:

  1. How does Jesus’ interest in individuals over the crowds help you to think about relationships? How might that affect our idea of multiplication in the Great Commission?
  2. Why does Jesus’ authority as God the Son give comfort to those who have faith? Why would it be troublesome to those who don’t believe?
  3. How does Jesus’ power over death help us to see death differently?
