February 26. Read Matthew 8. A Sample of Jesus' Miracles.
After completing his report on Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew turns to telling a series of dramatic stories to show Jesus' power and authority over every kind of disease, over demons, and even over the weather. Jesus also gives brief teachings about the hard road of following Him on earth. He calms a violent storm with a single command and casts demons from two violently possessed men. Matthew will focus mostly on miracles until shifting focus to Jesus' teachings and parables in chapter 11.
Reflect: What do each of the miracles in this chapter reveal about God’s supremacy and power? How does God’s supremacy and power over disease, demons, and disasters impact your response in difficult situations?
