Matthew 9:18-26 : Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman

Lernen

18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.

20 And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment:

21 for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole.

22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the flute-players, and the crowd making a tumult,

24 he said, Give place: for the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

25 But when the crowd was put forth, he entered in, and took her by the hand; and the damsel arose.

26 And the fame hereof went forth into all that land.

Meditate On What God Says About You

Our mind is running all the time, thoughts pouring in for good and for bad. We have a choice as to which thoughts we are going to focus on, and if we can focus on what God says about us we can be happy, grateful and blessed.

41. The Lord is called Lord and God. This is apparent from so many passages that if I were to cite them, they would fill pages. Let the following few passages suffice:

In John, when the Lord told Thomas to look at His hands and touch His side, Thomas said, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:27-28)

In Psalms:

They remembered that God was their rock, and the Most High God their Redeemer. (Psalms 78:35)

And in Isaiah:

...Jehovah of Hosts is His name, and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. God of the whole earth shall He be called. (Isaiah 54:5)

The same is also apparent from the fact that people worshiped Him and fell on their faces before Him (Matthew 9:18, 14:33, 15:25, 28:9; Mark 1:40, 5:22, 7:25, 10:17; Luke 17:15-16; John 9:38).

Moreover in Psalms:

...we heard of it in Ephrathah.... Let us go into His dwelling place (and) bow ourselves at His footstool. (Psalms 132:6-7)

So, too, in heaven, as depicted in the book of Revelation:

...I was in the spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sitting on the throne...like a jasper and a sardius stone...; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.... (And) the twenty-four elders fell down before Him who sat on the throne and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne.... (Revelation 4:2-3, 10)

And in another place:

I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.... And no one...was able to open...it. Then one of the elders said..., “...Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the book and to loose its seven seals.” And I (saw) in the midst of the throne...a Lamb standing.... He came and took the book.... (And they) fell down before the Lamb..., and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever. (Revelation 5:1, 3, 5-8, 14)
