A (Busy) Day in the Life
Whew. Matthew 9 had to be a doozy of a day for Jesus! Then again, He’s Jesus.
In one day, He:
- debated with disciples of John the Baptist about fasting,
- healed a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years,
- brought a girl back to life at her funeral,
- cured the blindness of two men,
- exorcised a demon from a man who couldn’t speak, restoring his speech!
Four life-altering miracles right after another! You’d think that’d be enough for Him, but nope–others followed.
Sounds like an ordinary day…
He had one day that he found out his cousin was murdered, tried to get away but had to preach all day, fed 5,000, stayed up late, walked on water and then the next morning dealt with a literal legion of demons…
