00:00Hey friends, have you ever found yourself in a moment where you're completely

00:05overwhelmed by life's challenges? Maybe you're facing a tough situation that

00:10seems impossible to solve, or you're burdened by a past that feels too heavy

00:16to escape. It's during these moments that we often search for answers, for healing,

00:22and for hope. Now, in the book of Matthew chapter 9, we witness extraordinary

00:29moments of healing, transformation, and redemption. The beauty of these stories

00:35is that they reveal timeless truths about faith and the power of God's grace.

00:41Today, let's dive into this chapter and see how these lessons can inspire us to

00:47trust in God's ability to transform every aspect of our lives.

00:53Jesus heals a paralytic. Picture this scene. Jesus has returned to his hometown,

01:00and people are gathered around him. Suddenly, a paralyzed man is brought to

01:07Jesus on a mat carried by his friends. What happens next is unexpected. Instead

01:13of immediately healing the man's physical condition, Jesus first says,

01:19Take heart, son. Your sins are forgiven. The religious leaders are outraged. Who is this

01:26man who claims to forgive sins? But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, responds,

01:33Which is easier to say, your sins are forgiven, or to say, get up and walk? And then he

01:41tells the man to rise, take up his mat, and go home. The man does so, completely

01:48healed. Now this story teaches us that Jesus sees beyond our outward

01:54circumstances. Sometimes the deepest healing we need is not physical, but

02:00spiritual. Jesus knew the paralytic's heart needed forgiveness, and he provided

02:06that first. What an incredible reminder that no matter how broken we feel, Jesus

02:13offers not just physical restoration, but spiritual healing that brings last

02:18peace. The calling of Matthew. As Jesus continues his journey, he encounters

02:26Matthew, a tax collector. Now, in those days, tax collectors were despised for

02:33working with the Roman government, and often cheating their own people. Yet

02:39Jesus looks at Matthew and simply says, Follow me. And without hesitation, Matthew

02:46leaves everything behind and follows Jesus. Now this moment is profound. It

02:51reminds us that Jesus calls us not based on our past, but based on our potential.

02:57It doesn't matter where you've been, or what mistakes you've made. Jesus calls

03:03you to a new life of purpose. When the Pharisees questioned why Jesus associates

03:09with sinners like Matthew, he responds, It is not the healthy who need a doctor,

03:15but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. Jesus extends his

03:23grace to everyone who recognizes their need for him. Just like Matthew, we are

03:29called not because we are perfect, but because Jesus sees something greater

03:34within us. Now, shortly after this, there's a question about fasting. The

03:43disciples of John the Baptist approached Jesus with the question, Why

03:48don't your disciples fast like we do? And Jesus responds by explaining that it

03:55wouldn't make sense for his disciples to fast while he is with them, comparing

04:00himself to a bridegroom at a wedding. He then shares a parable, No one sews a

04:07patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away.

04:13Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. Now, this teaching highlights

04:21that Jesus brings something entirely new. His presence isn't about patching up old

04:27systems of religion, it's about transforming us from the inside out. Now,

04:33we must be willing to let go of old ways of thinking and open ourselves up to the

04:39new work that God wants to do in our lives. Just as new wine needs fresh

04:45wineskins, God's grace brings renewal and our hearts need to be ready to receive

04:51it. Two acts of faith, the bleeding woman and the ruler's daughter. Now, as Jesus is

05:00teaching, a ruler comes and kneels before him, pleading, My daughter has just died,

05:06but come and put your hand on her and she will live. Jesus immediately sets out

05:12to go to the man's home. On the way, a woman who has been suffering from

05:18bleeding for 12 years touches the edge of his cloak. Her faith is so strong that

05:24she believes just a touch will heal her. Instantly, she is healed. Jesus turns to

05:31her and says, Take heart, daughter, your faith has healed you. And when Jesus

05:37arrives at the ruler's house, he is met with a scene of mourning, but he tells

05:42the crowd, The girl is not dead, but asleep. The crowd laughs at him, but Jesus

05:50takes the girl by the hand and she rises alive again. Now, these two stories are

05:56powerful examples of faith and action. The woman, despite her suffering, believes

06:02that Jesus can heal her. The ruler, despite his grief, believes that Jesus

06:08can bring his daughter back to life. Their faith moves Jesus to respond with

06:15compassion and power. What does this teach us? It shows us that when we bring

06:22our pain, our hopes, and our trust to Jesus, he meets us there with the power

06:27to heal and restore. Even in situations that seem hopeless, faith can bring forth

06:35miracles. Healing the blind and mute. Later, two blind men follow Jesus, crying

06:43out, Have mercy on us, son of David. Jesus asks them a simple but profound

06:50question, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They reply, Yes, Lord. Their

06:58sight is immediately restored. Shortly after, a man who is mute and

07:03demon-possessed is brought to Jesus. Once again, Jesus heals him and the man is

07:10able to speak. In both instances, Jesus shows us that faith is the gateway to

07:16receiving God's miracles. The blind men's belief that Jesus could restore their

07:22sight was the key to their healing. Jesus didn't just heal their physical

07:28blindness, he also opened their spiritual eyes to see his power and

07:33love. The mute man, similarly, experienced complete restoration, reminding us that

07:41no condition is beyond God's reach. The question remains for all of us, Do we

07:48believe that God can heal what is broken in our lives? Now, as we reflect on the

07:56gospel of Matthew chapter 9, we see the extraordinary power of faith, healing, and

08:02transformation. Jesus moves through each story, bringing not just physical healing,

08:08but also spiritual renewal. He shows compassion to those who are suffering, he

08:15calls those who are lost, and he brings hope to those who feel hopeless. But at

08:21the center of each miracle is a profound truth, faith is key. So today,

08:30let's take that message to heart. When Jesus asked the blind man, do you believe

08:35I can do this? He was asking a question that goes beyond physical healing. It's a

08:41question about whether we truly trust him with our deepest needs, our brokenness,

08:46and our dreams. When we answer, yes Lord, we open the door to transformation. So, as

08:55you go about your day, I challenge you to think about the areas in your life where

09:01you need Jesus's healing touch, whether it's a relationship that needs mending, a

09:06heart that needs forgiveness, or a situation that seems impossible. Remember,

09:13nothing is too hard for God. Step forward in faith and watch how God

09:20begins to move in your life. With faith, all things are possible. And as you trust

09:27in him, you will see the power of his love and grace at work in ways you never

09:32imagined. Thank you. Tomorrow we'll discuss chapter 10.
