Great is the measure of God's love

Matthew 9:18-26

Inspired thots:

v18.. 'a ruler came and knelt before Him (Jesus)'...

1. Even those in authority on earth will come before Jesus and BOW... truly EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW... Amen!
2. The ruler's daughter has (just) died. She's dead!

a) Yet, the ruler still come to Jesus. He BELIEVED Jesus can give his daughter life again.

b) His statement to Jesus amazes me..."But come .. and put your hand on her... and she will live"

c) Such HUMILITY! Such BELIEF! Such FAITH! So great is a father's love... amazing love.

3. I see my Heavenly Father's amazing love too...

a) He sent His only Son Jesus to raise ME up from the 'death' of SIN. ~ John 3:16.

b) And Jesus GOT UP immediately to go raise the ruler's daughter from death!

c) And Jesus made time to meet the needs of others around Him

~ the woman who had been bleeding for 12 years!

4. v22 Jesus said,"...Your FAITH has healed you..."

a) Only BELIEVE... I can be healed... physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally.

b) God loves. Jesus cares. He heals. AMEN!

c) What is MAN's response?

• if GOD (Jesus) can respond immediately to meet our needs... why not MAN respond immediately for the LORD, when He only has the BEST for us?
