Bible commentary: Matthew 9

1. Matthew 9 further reveals the healing and salvation ministry of Jesus Christ.

1. He healed the paralytic. Verse 2 – And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee;

1. He healed the woman with the issue of blood for 12 years. Verse 22 – But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour;

1. He rose the daughter of the king from dead. Verse 25 – But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.

1. He also caused the blind men to see. Verse 30 – And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it and the dumb speak again.

1. He healed the dumb. Verse 33 – And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.

1. Jesus also introduced himself again as the Savior, and friend of sinners. He dined with a crowd of drunkards and sinners. He did not stigmatize nor label them as outcasts. Rather, he announced his ministry to them. Verse 13 – for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

1. Jesus revealed himself as a teacher of the word, preacher of the gospel, and a city/village evangelist. The miracles of Jesus were either preceded or accompanied by teaching of the Word of God, and preaching on repentance from sins

1. If the only thing we do in church or Christian ministry is to preach to the saved, then we are not fulfilling the ministry of Jesus Verse 12 – But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

1. Lastly Jesus lamented that absence of labourers to harvest souls to the kingdom. Would you decide today to harvest souls for the kingdom by doing the work of a missionary, evangelist, or Pastor? Verse 37 – Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; ³⁸ Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

1. Do you want to remain as a church goer, a bench warmer in church or you want to step out for Jesus from today as a harvester of soul?

1. The devil shall not harvest your soul in Jesus’ name.

1. The devil shall NOT harvest my soul in Jesus’ name.
