Monday





When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,”he said. “Be clean!”Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”


Matthew 8:1-34





  1. Why did the leper come to Jesus?
  2. Why did he say "if you are willing..."?
  3. What is the significance of Jesus' healing?
  4. What did Jesus reveal about Himself in this healing?
  5. Pray: Pray that God convicts us of our own uncleanliness and seek Jesus for healing and cleansing.


Tuesday





When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.” Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?” The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”


Matthew 8:5-9





  1. What can you tell about this centurion?
  2. What can you tell about his servant?
  3. Why did the centurion come to Jesus?
  4. What can you learn about Jesus and the centurion's understanding of authority?
  5. Pray: Pray that God can use you just like the centurion to bring healing to someone else in your life.


Wednesday





When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.”And his servant was healed at that moment.


Matthew 8:10-13





  1. Why was Jesus amazed at the centurion's statement?
  2. What does make the centurion's faith great?
  3. How does Jesus explain the kingdom in terms of authority?
  4. What did the servant get in the end?
  5. Pray: Pray that we can see Jesus' story in our stories as we serve our family and community.

When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.

When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
