Matt 8-9.

So, today, kinda this whole two chapters is showing Jesus's ability as Son of God.

First there is a lot of healing people's illnesses. Leprosy, bleeding, all kinds of sickness.

Next, He commands the storms from chaotic to calmness. Who can do this?

Next He shows His power over Spiritual forces, commanding demons. I always wondered why he would send them into the pigs to die though..?

And even after this he forgives the paralyzed guy of his sins and raised the dead to life!

All this was not hindered by Jesus' own ability, but it came down to the faith of those being healed. "He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick." Jesus could do it, He just wanted them to trust in Him.

However, many demanded miracles; to see it for themselves before they believed. The people cared more about their pigs than the freedom from the demons and so drove Jesus away. None of them listened when Jesus said don't tell anyone. They tried to make up reasons for how Jesus was doing this.

So, let us trust in Him and His power that is alive in us to do even more than we can ask or imagine (Rom8:11, John16:7, John4:12, Eph3:20).
