Christ as King: A Study in MatthewNäide

What does it say?
Jesus healed the sick, calmed the storm, and delivered two demon-possessed men. He warned followers that discipleship is costly.
What does it mean?
Jesus demonstrated authority over sickness, nature, and supernatural beings – authenticating that He is the Messiah promised by the prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 53:4). As Jesus revealed His power, He also showed compassion for suffering people, touching them with healing and deliverance. He proved Himself more powerful than the crises of life. Jesus’ love and power can overcome a fear of illness, natural calamities, and even supernatural forces.
How should I respond?
Jesus cares for you and has the power to help you overcome any challenging situation you may face. That is the life-altering truth. In great love, He empathizes with your need. In great authority, He stoops to touch you with His power to deliver or be your companion through any disease or danger. What situation has shaken your security? Will you look to Jesus and trust Him with your greatest personal need? You never have reason to doubt God’s care. Jesus has the power to change your circumstances if that is best. He also has the power to enable you to overcome your circumstances. Invite Him into your need today.
