Unequalled Power
Matthew 8:1-17. The narrative of Matthew dramatically turns from the authority of Jesus' teaching (Matthew 7:29) to the authority of Jesus' power! As a Pastor I emphasize obedience to Christ. What we should do as a follower of Christ. Sometimes, to many times, I forget to simply marvel at HIS POWER. He did incredible works. There was no one like him before or after. He did things no one else even claimed to do. Let us not forget the power of our SAVIOR! We do not follow a religious leader or inspiring teacher, we follow the Son of the living God!!! He heals the Centurion's servant from a distance. Then Jesus said to the officer, “You may go home now. Your faith has made it happen.” Right then his servant was healed. (Matthew 8:13 CEV) He casts out demons with a word. That evening many people with demons in them were brought to Jesus. And with only a word he forced out the evil spirits and healed everyone who was sick. (Matthew 8:13, 16 CEV)...
