St Matthew, Chapter 15, verses: 29 - 30, Jesus Heals: Great Crowds come.

Our paragraph topic is:  (Jesus heals the suffering) Part 1.   

The Canaanite woman was healed and her daughter was cleansed of the demon that possessed her.  Jesus then departed that place.  He followed a path that led him along the sea of Galilee.  And the news spread of his whereabouts.  The word was alive.  The word took root.  The word of God was spoken in the villages, in the towns, in the market place where all could hear of this man called Christ who was called a prophet.  The word spread of this man called Christ who performed great miracles.  The word was alive.  And some called him the Messiah that has been spoken of for many years.

And they came.  They came from the villages.  They came from the towns.  They came from the market places.  They came from the temples and the synagogues and from the places of worship.  For the Christ had come and many wanted to see.  Many wanted to know.  Many wanted to touch that they may be healed.  For the lowly came.  And the down trodden came.  And the cripple came, and the lame, and the blind, and the deaf, and the lepers came.  All came because they had been cast out.  They had been set aside as outcasts.  They were the scourge of society and no one thought of them as people.  But they came to Christ who saw them as children.  They came that he might heal them and make them whole.

And when Jesus had departed from there, he went along the sea of Galilee; and he went upthe mountain and sat thereAnd great crowds came to him, bringing with them the dumb, the blind,the lame, the maimed,and many others; and they set them down at his feet and he cured them.


The word had no Ipad in those days.  The word had no Internet.  The word had no Facebook, or YouTube, or Twitter to spread its message.  The word only had itself and how it affected those who heard it.  The word only had itself and how it moved those who saw it in action.  The word only had itself and how it transformed those who knew it to be the truth.  And the word spread throughout the land and brought great crowds to Christ who sat on the mountain side and waited for those to come who were rejected by the world.

Hear the word today.  For the word is on Facebook.  The word is on YouTube.  The word is on twitter.  And the word will spread to those who hear it.  The word will spread to those who know it.  The word will spread to those who seek it.  For the word is truth.  The word is knowledge.  The word is wisdom.  The word is not of this world but it will lead you down the narrow path of salvation for those who follow.  Will you follow?  Will you seek to know?  Will you desire to find the one truth in life that will bring you to the truth of who you are in Christ

Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ.  Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself.  Do not study it in parts reading one passage and then skipping to another but read it for understanding.  Read it for knowledge.  Read it for faith.  Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ.  The Holy Spirit awaits you.  Christ seeks to know you.  Open the door and let him in!
