Scripture:
”Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness.“ Matthew 9:35 NLT
Observation:
This verse speaks about what Jesus did when He went from town to town. In the synagogues He taught and announced the Good News of His Kingdom. He also healed every kind of disease and illness. Healing usually happened outside of the synagogue as Jesus was walking from place to place. He left us a pattern of ministry that we would do good to follow.
Application:
Generally you announce things that have happened or are about to happen. Teaching helps you understand what has been announced. Healing is the byproduct of announcing and teaching. We need to know when to announce, when to teach, and when to heal. We should be doing all three on a regular basis. I want to introduce Jesus, understand Jesus, and demonstrate Jesus.
Prayer:
Lord God Almighty, use my life for Your glory. Show me more of what is important to You. Empower me to announce, teach, and heal. Use me to introduce Jesus, understand Jesus, and demonstrate Jesus. Help me to announce the Kingdom, teach the Kingdom, and demonstrate the Kingdom.
Forever Yours,
Jeff
