Matthew 8:5-9 Link: bible-illustrated.blogspot.rs/2018/03/Mt0805.html

Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

Jesus, You change everything To an incredible night of worship and an incredible word by @levilusko. "If you believe God a little, He will bless you a little. If you believe to the hilt, he will bless you fully." Of all these nights many people ranging from students, to leaders, to business people/entrepreneur, to pastors and every person in between I believe got to knowing themselves just a bit better and their place in this world. There is no amount of shame nor high/low of position of the person you are, God will use you and you are so valuable in the church of His people. Thank you to the faithful people of this conference and all those involved from volunteers to leaders and worship team. #teamchurch #teamchurchconference #teamchurch2017 #teamchurchconference2017 #pnw #championscentre #worship #jesussaves #matthew8 #levilusko #OverUnder

Day 46 of Commentaries or Devotionals on the Words of Jesus from the Book of Matthew By Pastor James Moore, Jr. Devotional: “Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him. And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep. Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!” But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?” Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. So the men marveled, saying, “Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?” ~Matthew‬ ‭8:23-27‬ #Matthew8 At various times in  our lives, there will, out of nowhere appear intense storms. These sudden disturbances can cause great distress and bring us to the place of great fear because of the unstable conditions, and our inability to be prepared for them. That is why it is so very important for every believer, when we are experiencing calmness, to use that time to prepare by saturating ourselves in  the study God’s Word, in prayer and meditating on His Word. It is a time where we need to fellowship with other believers so that we can encourage and edify one another. We must know, just as Jesus, who was asleep in the back of the boat, has the ability to hush the storm instantaneously. He also has the ability to help us to endure even if He chooses not to quiet it. We must be confident and know that our Deliverer has power over the natural disasters as well as spiritual disasters that arise out of nowhere. Let us keep drawing near to Him, He will draw near to us. #Matthew8 #ServingJesusChrist #OhYouOfLittleFaith #HeRebukedTheWind https://www.instagram.com/p/B2JqEhjFsxl/?igshid=20z48a0a5had

Day 44 of Commentaries on the Words of Jesus from the Book of Matthew By Jamieson, Fausset & Brown “Now when Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side. And a scribe came up and said to him, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go." And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." ~Matthew‬ ‭8:18-20‬ ‭ Verse 20: And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. Few as there were of the scribes who attached themselves to Jesus, it would appear, from his calling Him 'Teacher' Didaskale (Greek #1320), that this one was a "disciple" in that looser sense of the word in which it is applied to the crowds who flocked after Him, with more or less conviction that His claims were well founded. But from the answer which he received we are led to infer that there was more of transient emotion-of temporary impulse-than of intelligent principle in the speech. The preaching of Christ had riveted and charmed him; his heart had swelled; his enthusiasm had been kinkled; and in this state of mind he will go anywhere with Him; and feels impelled to tell Him so. 'Wilt thou?' replies the Lord Jesus 'Knowest thou Whom thou art pledging thyself to follow, and where haply He may lead thee? No warm home, no downy pillow has He for thee: He has them not for Himself. The foxes are not without their holes, nor do the birds of the air want their nests; but the Son of man has to depend on the hospitality of others, and borrow the pillow whereon He lays His head.' How affecting is this reply! And yet He rejects not this man's offer, nor refuses him the liberty to follow Him. Only He will have him know what he is doing, and 'count the cost.' He will have him weigh well the real nature and the strength of his attachment, whether it be such as will abide in the day of trial. If so, he will be right welcome, because Christ puts none away. But it seems too plain that in this case that had not been done. And so we have called this the rash or precipitate disciple. #Matthew8 #ServingJesusChrist #Foxes https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Dh6OVFYiN/?igshid=fp5io1q5ger

Day 42 of Commentaries on the Words of Jesus from the Book of Matthew By Albert Barnes Photo by Wendy van Zyl from Pexels. @wendy.vanzyl.3 “When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.” ~Matthew‬ ‭8:1-4‬ Verse 4: See thou tell no man - This command is to be understood as extending only to the time until he had made the proper representation to the priest. It was his duty to hasten to him immediately Leviticus 14:2; not to delay by talking about it, but, as the first thing, to obey the laws of God, and make proper acknowledgments to him by an offering. The place where this cure was performed was in Galilee, a distance of 40 or 50 miles from Jerusalem; and it was his duty to make haste to the residence of the priest, and obtain his sanction to the reality of the cure. Perhaps, also, Christ was apprehensive that the report would go “before” the man if he delayed, and the priest, through opposition to Jesus, might pronounce it an imposition. And offer the gift that Moses commanded - That Moses directed to be offered by a leper when he was cured. That gift consisted of “two birds alive and clean, cedar-wood, scarlet, and hyssop,” Leviticus 14:4. For a testimony unto them - Not to the priest, but to the people. Show thyself to the priest, and get his testimony to the reality of the cure, as a proof to the people that the healing is genuine. It was necessary that he should have that testimony before he could be received to the congregation or allowed to mingle with the people. Having this, he would be, of course, restored to the privileges of social and religious life, and the proof of the miracle, to the people, would be put beyond a doubt. #Matthew8 #ServingJesusChrist #ShowThyself https://www.instagram.com/p/B1-WzJGlz88/?igshid=29mbiv9gzj9i
