Our paragraph topic is: (Other miracles) Part 2.
Christ is still in Peter's house where he cures all that are brought to him. The word goes out to all the villages about the things that he is doing and the people that are being cured. Information travels by word of mouth. The journalist who make it their business to carry the word have spread the good news throughout the villages during the entire day. They have added their spin on the news and embellished it so that it is exciting and captures the attention of the people. Matthew, the author of this book, reflects back on this time and tells us that the prophet Isaias spoke of Christ and the deeds that he would perform. Isaias said: "He himself took up our infirmities, and bore the burden of our ills." And now the prophesy is being fulfilled through the miracles that Christ is performing.
Every person that they brought to him with illness he took up the illness. Every person that was possessed he cast out the demons. Every person with afflictions he healed. He fulfilled the prophesy. He is the Christ. All who came to him with sorrow left with joy. All who came to him with sadness, left with happiness. All who came to him with doubt, left with hope. All who came to him with fear left with faith. He took up all the infirmities and cast out all the demons. He lifted the weight from their shoulders. He gave them a new light. He brought them from darkness into the light. He is the Christ.
Many people say to the young, this is my loved one. And would give their life if something happened to that little one. When one is sick the whole family is sick. They bear the burden of that family member. Friends feel the suffering of a friend that is ill. Loved ones understand the suffering of one that has pain. We make an effort to bring relief through our actions and our words and our love for that person that is in pain. If one is hospitalized with a disease that requires surgery we gather around that person to share in the prognosis of that disease and to assist with the recovery of the loved one after they have completed the surgery. When one is depressed with the loss of a loved one or a child we gather around to lift the spirits of that person, to remind of the happy times, to restore the faith of the one depressed. Christ bore our depression. He took away our ills. He gave joy where there was sorrow. He brought happiness where there was pain. Through his miracles he restored us to our faith in more than the pain and suffering that surrounds us daily. Through his miralces he gave hope to those cured in that day when he walked the earth. He fulfilled the prophesy.
We have come through these lessons that Christ has taught us, from the teachings of the Sermon on the Mount, to the lessions on faith, and now to the miracles that he performs. The Spirit in Christ teaches us how to live on this earth. He has given us the lessons to follow. He has taught us the truth of faith and what it brings. He teaches us the joy of the love of Christ and how he restores us to health and wellness, joy and happiness, peace and love. He took up all our infirmities. He bore all our ills. He restores us to hope and faith.
He shows us that he is the way and the truth and the life. Christ is our answer. He is the joy of our heart. In him there is no sorrow. In him there is no loss. In him there is no aches and pains and suffering. He takes them all away. He bears them up. He cast them out so that we are able to see the full glory of his Father through his works. Rejoice in him. Be glad in him. Know him. For through Christ we come to know the one true God who is the source of all our needs.
