HEAL - God's Heart for Healing in Matthew

DAY 9 OF 30

Healing by Night

Evening came to Capernaum where Jesus was visiting. Waiting until evening, loved ones brought their demon-possessed family members and friends to Him. Could it be that these caregivers had been in hiding, waiting for a time when the least amount of people would see their troubled loved one? Or, could it be the expression of torment was more present during the nighttime hours and they needed help? 

As they brought their loved ones, Jesus drove out the spirits with a word. The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords had the ultimate authority to cast out demons.

That night, Jesus healed all their sick, fulfilling what the prophet Isaiah had said, “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.” 

Questions: 

1. Do you believe people can either be possessed or oppressed by demons today?

2. The demon-possessed people didn’t come to Jesus on their own. Their loved ones cared for them enough to bring them to Jesus. What do you think of that?  

3. Do you know someone in your life who may need help getting to Jesus?
