THE LOVE OF JESUS

Matthew 9

As Christians, we have the understanding that through Jesus stripes, we are healed. However, even before Jesus died for us, he showed many different ways of grace and blessing to others. For instance, Jesus saw Matthew a tax collector. These people were one of the most highly hated people of the bible time. Did Jesus look over him because of that? No, he did not. This is what happened 9As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector's booth. "Follow me," he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him. Another instance was when he brought the dead back to life.  22Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment. 24he said, "Go away. The girl is not dead but asleep." But they laughed at him. 28When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" "Yes, Lord," they replied. 29Then he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith will it be done to you"; 30and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, "See that no one knows about this."

Jesus showed us his love when he came and died for us, his grace when he forgives us for all the sin we commit in this lifetime now and his blessings when he provide for our need when we call upon him. This passage was built around faith trust and belief. If we cannot get our self to realize that Jesus is all we need, than we need to speak more openly and freely to get to know who he is not just a Savior but as a friend as well.
