馬太福音 9:18-26 : Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman

Study

18 耶穌這話的時候,有一個管會堂的拜他,:我女兒剛才死了,求你去按手在他身上,他就必活了。

19 耶穌便起來跟著他去;門徒也跟了去。

20 有一個女人,患了十二年的血漏,來到耶穌背後,摸他的衣裳繸子;

21 因為他心裡:我只摸他的衣裳,就必痊愈。

22 耶穌過來,看見他,就:女兒,放心!你的信救了你。從那時候,女人就痊愈了。

23 耶穌到了管會堂的家裡,看見有吹手,又有許多人亂嚷,

24 :退去罷!這閨女不是死了,是睡著了。他們就嗤笑他。

25 眾人既被攆出,耶穌就進去,拉著閨女的手,閨女便起來了。

26 於是這風聲傳遍了那地方。

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.
