Matthew 9 - Follow Me

Matthew 9: The Calling of Matthew and Jesus' Miracles Explained

In this episode, I delve into Matthew 9 to uncover how Matthew remembers his own story of joining Jesus. We explore Jesus' return to Capernaum, his miracles such as healing a paralyzed man, and calling Matthew the tax collector. We discuss the impact Jesus had on sinners and tax collectors, the Pharisees' reaction, and the analogy of new wine in old wineskins. We also witness Jesus heal a bleeding woman, raise a dead girl, restore sight to the blind, and cast out demons. Finally, I reflect on the call to be laborers in God's harvest and how we can all partake in spreading the good news.
