In 1985 a man by the name of 18 00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:15,800 Michael Card. Wrote a poem. 19 00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:22,000 Actually, it's a song called The Gentle healer and that has 20 00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:26,100 struck a note. No pun intended there. 21 00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:29,600 The struck a note in my heart, the words of that song, and I 22 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,200 want to read it to you, and it's kind of some thoughts from 23 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,500 today, hear the gentle healer. The gentle healer came into our 24 00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:40,800 town today. He touched blind eyes and the 25 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,400 Darkness left to State more than the blindness. 26 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,600 He took their sins away. The gentle healer came into our 27 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,000 town today. The gentle healer came into our 28 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000 town today. He spoke one word that was all 29 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,100 he had to say. The one who had died, just rose 30 00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:59,700 up straight away. The gentle healer came into our 31 00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:02,800 town today. Oh, he seemed just like an 32 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:09,000 ordinary man with dirty feet and rough but gentle hands the word. 33 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,700 He says, the words he says are hard to understand and yet he 34 00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:17,500 seems just like a ordinary man. The gentle healer, he left our 35 00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:20,500 town today. I just looked around and found 36 00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:22,900 he'd gone away. Some folks from town had 37 00:02:22,900 --> 00:02:26,100 followed him. They say that the gentle healer 38 00:02:26,700 --> 00:02:33,000 is the truth, the life, the way. Those words touch my heart 39 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,500 greatly and they introduced or tend to introduce to me a 40 00:02:36,500 --> 00:02:40,000 different side of sometimes. Our Lord, we see him as the 41 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Savior. We see him as our creator. 42 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,900 We see him as our lawgiver, as our example. 43 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,700 But sometimes I think we perhaps Miss some of what the scripture 44 00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:53,500 says about him as a Healer and as the gentle healer. 45 00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:56,600 And so with on this rubric of the gentle healer, we want to 46 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,500 talk about some scenes from our Lord's life primarily in the 47 00:03:01,508 --> 00:03:04,800 Book of Matthew, Matthew, the ninth chapter, most of where 48 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:08,000 this is going to come from. And we see the work of the 49 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,300 gentle healer and some of the significance and meaning of what 50 00:03:12,100 --> 00:03:14,300 these things, what these events meant. 51 00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:19,200 Matthew, the 9th chapter takes place in a city called, 52 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,600 Capernaum and Whedon are not my understanding, is, we don't know 53 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,100 exactly where that is. It was on the Sea of Galilee and 54 00:03:26,100 --> 00:03:30,200 there, but we don't know the specifics of exactly where which 55 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,200 part of where, where it was along the Sea of Galilee and 56 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,900 that's my understanding there. I'm no expert on geography or 57 00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:40,100 those places and things such as that. 58 00:03:40,900 --> 00:03:44,500 The compendium was a city that Jesus made his home. 59 00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:47,300 Now, we think of Jesus of being from Nazareth, Jesus of 60 00:03:47,300 --> 00:03:49,300 Nazareth. But if you look at Matthew, the 61 00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:53,000 fourth chapter Matthew, the fourth chapter verse 13. 62 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,300 It says, and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum 63 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,300 and that's significant that he dwelt there. 64 00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:06,100 Because later, it's called his City, he refers to it. 65 00:04:06,100 --> 00:04:08,100 And it's referred in scripture as his City. 66 00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:10,500 His town that he lived. So he moved his base. 67 00:04:10,700 --> 00:04:13,300 Ace of operation from where he grew up in Nazareth to 68 00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:17,600 Capernaum. So he's in Capernaum now. 69 00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,500 Is that in Capernaum, which is upon the Sea Coast and the 70 00:04:21,507 --> 00:04:24,700 borders of zebulun Nephilim that it might be fulfilled, which was 71 00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:27,000 spoken by Isaiah. The prophet saying the land of 72 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,400 zebulun and land of naphthalene. By the way, of the sea Beyond 73 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,300 Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people, which said, in 74 00:04:34,300 --> 00:04:39,600 darkness, saw great light and to them, which said in the region 75 00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:42,300 and shadow of death, light is sprung up. 76 00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:46,500 And from that time, Jesus began to preach and say, repent for 77 00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:49,200 the kingdom of heaven. Is at hand. 78 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,200 And so this is where he began his base of operation. 79 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,700 Basically in his base is preaching, that the kingdom of 80 00:04:56,700 --> 00:04:59,900 heaven was at hand and the gospel that he preached unto the 81 00:04:59,900 --> 00:05:02,100 people round and round about them there. 82 00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:04,700 But something that is very significant about what he did 83 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,700 there in. Capernaum, was that? 84 00:05:06,700 --> 00:05:11,900 Jesus, not only made his home there, but Jesus did many mighty 85 00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:17,100 deeds and mighty works. There here is where Jesus healed 86 00:05:17,100 --> 00:05:19,500 the Centurion sunny. You look at Matthew, the eighth 87 00:05:19,500 --> 00:05:22,100 chapter. Look at what happens here. 88 00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:27,200 He's in, Capernaum, there in the fifth verse, it says, There came 89 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,300 to him a centurion beseeching him now, Centurion was not one 90 00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:32,500 of the is not one of the Hebrews. 91 00:05:32,500 --> 00:05:37,000 He was a gentile, he may have been a Roman, but its interim 92 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,500 was a officer in the Roman army. And so he comes to Jesus. 93 00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:45,100 And look at this man. Look what he says in him. 94 00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:47,700 He says he says, behold in. I'm paraphrasing. 95 00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:50,400 Here is his boat. He says, well, here's what he 96 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,900 says, first of all Lord, he says Lord. 97 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,700 My servant. My servant lies. 98 00:05:56,700 --> 00:06:00,900 Sick of the palsy. He's paralyzed and he's terribly 99 00:06:00,900 --> 00:06:04,700 tormented. And Jesus says, okay, I will 100 00:06:04,700 --> 00:06:08,500 come and heal him. But notice what the Centurion. 101 00:06:08,500 --> 00:06:12,900 The Roman soldier says, he says this Lord, I am not worthy that 102 00:06:12,900 --> 00:06:16,400 you should come under my roof, but speak the word only and my 103 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,400 servant shall be healed for. I am a man under Authority, 104 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,200 having soldiers under me, and I say to this man go, and he goes 105 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,200 into another come, and he comes and my servant do this, and he 106 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,900 does it. So notice what this man says, 107 00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:33,300 first of all, he calls him, Lord, he calls him Lord twice 108 00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:36,700 here and then he says, when Jesus says, I'm going to come to 109 00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:39,000 your house, I'm going to come to your house and heal him. 110 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,900 He says, I am not worthy that you should come under my roof 111 00:06:41,900 --> 00:06:47,900 and so he a gentile refers to Jesus as his Superior. 112 00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:51,200 I am not worthy. I am not worthy. 113 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,100 Now, whether in rank or whether in lordship, I believe it's in 114 00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:56,700 lordship. He's talking about here because 115 00:06:56,700 --> 00:06:58,900 he calls Lord in Lord. Weiss here. 116 00:06:59,500 --> 00:07:03,400 But then, here's what he says, here's what he says to him. 117 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:05,800 He says, I am a man under Authority. 118 00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:11,400 He says, I know how rank goes and I know the system of rank. 119 00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:16,900 I am under someone and he says, I have soldiers under me and I 120 00:07:16,907 --> 00:07:21,300 tell one, soldier go. He goes and I tell one, come he 121 00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:23,600 comes. I tell my service to do this and 122 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,300 he does it. So, here's a man knowing 123 00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:28,100 Authority and he knows that Jesus. 124 00:07:28,700 --> 00:07:31,900 Greater than him in a spiritual sense there. 125 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:38,300 And so, here's what he says, he says, just say the word and my 126 00:07:38,300 --> 00:07:42,800 servant will be healed. So he acknowledges Jesus as 127 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:49,000 Lord, he acknowledges Jesus, as being able to heal but he also 128 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,800 acknowledges Jesus as having Authority, that's all that he 129 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,400 says, he says, I know Rank and he says, I know how to rank 130 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,900 works there. He says, you have Authority, all 131 00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:00,900 you have to do is you have to say the word? 132 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,800 And my servant will be healed. You have that rank, you have 133 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,900 that Authority be able to do that. 134 00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:11,500 Jesus explains there, he says verily, I say unto you have not 135 00:08:11,500 --> 00:08:12,400 found. So great faith. 136 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:14,300 No, not in Israel. I say that they'll should be 137 00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:16,900 come from the East and the west and shall sit down with Abraham 138 00:08:17,100 --> 00:08:18,800 and Isaac and Jacob in the Kingdom of Heaven, to the 139 00:08:18,808 --> 00:08:21,000 children of the Kingdom shall be cast out. 140 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,300 So, these were the Hebrews. That would be often cast out 141 00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:26,200 here. Is why Jesus saying here is a 142 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:33,100 gentile, Who understood rank calls on Jesus, to call it in, 143 00:08:33,700 --> 00:08:37,000 and guess you'd say, call the miracle in and just say the word 144 00:08:37,100 --> 00:08:39,900 and he would be healed. It's also there in Capernaum 145 00:08:39,900 --> 00:08:42,100 where Jesus enters into Peter's house. 146 00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:45,600 Now, that's where Peter lived in Capernaum and, apparently, 147 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,800 Peters mother-in-law must have lived with him there too. 148 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,000 But she was sick with a fever there in the next few verses 149 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,800 there and verse 14, he came to Peter's house, he saw his wife 150 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,100 mother laid sick with a fever. He touched her hand, and the Her 151 00:08:58,108 --> 00:09:00,400 left her and she arose and ministered unto them. 152 00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:05,300 Now someone who's sick with a fever you go to them and if 153 00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:07,500 you're going to do anything with them, you stay your distance. 154 00:09:07,500 --> 00:09:09,600 You keep you. You keep your distance from 155 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,400 Jesus touched her Jesus touched her. 156 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,300 They're showing his, his not only his confidence and what he 157 00:09:16,300 --> 00:09:18,500 was going to do. But his ability to do it, he 158 00:09:18,508 --> 00:09:21,500 touched her. And she arose, her fever left 159 00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:22,500 her. And she arose. 160 00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:25,300 This was there in Capernaum. We go next. 161 00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:27,800 It says, and when evening was come, they brought him verse 16. 162 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,900 Teen, that brought him many that were possessed with Devils or 163 00:09:30,900 --> 00:09:34,300 demons, he cast out the spirits with his word and healed all 164 00:09:34,300 --> 00:09:36,900 that were sick, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken by 165 00:09:36,900 --> 00:09:39,600 Isaiah, the prophet. And this is from Isaiah chapter 166 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,400 53, about the servant of the Lord, in verse 4. 167 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,400 Well, Isaiah said, himself took our infirmities and bore our 168 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,300 sicknesses And so that's what Jesus was doing here. 169 00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:53,400 And that's what he does with his miracles here. 170 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,500 It's his fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah, much of what 171 00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:01,100 it is doing here. And so we want to skip on over 172 00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:03,000 here because Jesus go somewhere else. 173 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,700 But then in chapter 9 verse 1 he comes back to Capernaum. 174 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,800 And so, the gentle healer is here, he came to our town. 175 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,000 Our town is Capernaum here in our way of thinking here, he 176 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,300 came to our town today, and he did all kinds of things for 177 00:10:18,300 --> 00:10:22,500 those who, Sick. Here's what happens in in the in 178 00:10:22,500 --> 00:10:24,200 the ninth chapter of the first few verses. 179 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,200 He came to his own City. That's Capernaum there and he's 180 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,600 in a sit in a house. They're preaching is in a house 181 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,100 preaching and there are so many people around them there. 182 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,700 And this is also a mark and Luke's account as well. 183 00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:40,500 And Mark is probably a little more graphic than Matthew, but 184 00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:42,400 it were talking about Matthew here today. 185 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,700 So we'll just stick with that and refer to the other, they're 186 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,700 on there. So if you don't mind there, but 187 00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:51,000 he's in this house preaching and everybody, the house is packed 188 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,000 and I can imagine the windows, there's people looking in the 189 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,200 windows there and you can't get in. 190 00:10:56,700 --> 00:11:00,300 And so there's four men, there's four men who bring their friend 191 00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:03,900 to Jesus to be healed and they can't get in the house because 192 00:11:03,900 --> 00:11:07,000 of all the crowd and so they go up on top of the house, they 193 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,200 take a look. It's the roof tiles and they let 194 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:14,000 him down in front of Jesus. And there, the Bible says, verse 195 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,400 to a Matthew 9 Jesus said to the palsy to the paralyzed, man, son 196 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,900 be of good. Cheer, your sins are forgiven 197 00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:28,000 you, oh, the Pharisees and the scribes or the scribes that were 198 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,500 sitting nearby. They think this notice notice, 199 00:11:31,500 --> 00:11:33,900 they don't speak it out loud. They just think this. 200 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,300 They think within themselves, this man, blasphemes Mark says, 201 00:11:38,300 --> 00:11:40,400 who can forgive sins, but God only. 202 00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:43,700 And so, here's what they're saying, he's got, he's got to be 203 00:11:43,700 --> 00:11:46,900 a blasphemer because who can forgive sins, but God only and 204 00:11:46,900 --> 00:11:50,700 you know what, they're exactly right there. 205 00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:53,800 Exactly right. That Jesus is blaspheming 206 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,200 because only God forgive his sins, the only way he is not. 207 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:03,700 Blaspheming is if he is God. So their interpretation is 208 00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:07,600 right. Their application is wrong. 209 00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:11,700 And so that's how that's the truth here in this. 210 00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:15,600 So Jesus, then next it says, he knew their thoughts. 211 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,300 They did not have to say, he knew what they were thinking, he 212 00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:22,900 replies to their thoughts. He says, which do you think? 213 00:12:22,900 --> 00:12:25,200 Is it better? Just what, why do you think evil 214 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,300 in your hearts notice? They had applied it wrong. 215 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,700 Their interpretation was right. That he was a blasphemer, unless 216 00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:35,000 he was God. Only God can forgive sins. 217 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,600 What should their conclusion be? That conclusion should have been 218 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,300 that. He was God, he was the son of 219 00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:43,900 God here but that did not they that but that was not their 220 00:12:43,900 --> 00:12:45,500 conclusion that was not their application. 221 00:12:45,500 --> 00:12:48,700 Their weather, is it easier to say your sins, be forgiven thee, 222 00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:51,900 or to say arise and walk, but so that you may know that the son 223 00:12:51,900 --> 00:12:54,200 of man has power on Earth to forgive sins. 224 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,100 He says the sick of the palsy, take up your rise, take up your 225 00:12:57,100 --> 00:13:01,000 bed and go to your own house. And the people were amazed. 226 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,300 They said they glorify God who had given such power unto men. 227 00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:10,500 The son of man here proved himself at this point through 228 00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:14,600 the Miracles that he did here in this town, that gentle heater 229 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,800 showed that he was not just a Healer. 230 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,700 But that he was God on Earth because he said it's the same. 231 00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:27,200 It's the same healing this man, or forgiving sins. 232 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,000 It's the same so that you may know that I have power on Earth 233 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,600 to forgive sins, that was the same called him to rise. 234 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,600 Take up his bed and walk. Let's skip on down here, a 235 00:13:37,608 --> 00:13:41,400 little ways in Matthew, the 9th chapter, and we turn over here 236 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,500 to the next page of my Bible. Verse 18 and verse 18. 237 00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:49,500 It says here he is still in Ian, it says while he spake these 238 00:13:49,500 --> 00:13:52,100 things unto them. Behold there came a certain 239 00:13:52,100 --> 00:13:55,100 ruler, a certain ruler worshipped him and said my 240 00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:58,900 daughter is even now dead. This is also a mark in Luke's 241 00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:03,800 account and this Jew this ruler as we not understand, his name 242 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,300 is Jarius or Jiraiya. So I'm not sure exactly how to 243 00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:09,900 pronounce that, but Jarius comes to him. 244 00:14:10,300 --> 00:14:13,900 And he is at says, he is a ruler ruler. 245 00:14:13,900 --> 00:14:16,800 We understand that he was a ruler of the synagogue. 246 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,500 He was The chief people, perhaps the chief person in the 247 00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:24,800 synagogue there in Capernaum or in a synagogue in Capernaum, he 248 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,800 was the one who organized, who organized and carried out 249 00:14:28,900 --> 00:14:32,800 carried out their services, there he was the ruler of the 250 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,800 synagogue in that point. So he comes to him, he comes to 251 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,800 the gentle healer and he expressed his faith in him. 252 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,300 He says, my daughter is even now dead. 253 00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:45,900 Mark and Luke's account. Says she Lay Dying. 254 00:14:45,900 --> 00:14:49,900 So he speaking concerning the SS that was happening here and he 255 00:14:49,900 --> 00:14:53,800 says, Jesus came arose and followed him with his disciples. 256 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,800 And so here you see the different ways in which Jesus 257 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,000 works miracles, one. He dialed it in there from the 258 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,800 Centurion son here. He you know, he to Peters 259 00:15:04,100 --> 00:15:07,400 mother-in-law. He goes touches her hand to the 260 00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:10,600 sick of the palsy. He says, your sins are forgiven 261 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:16,200 you all this here and here, here here Jesus, again says I'm going 262 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,300 to come I'm going to come And heal her. 263 00:15:18,300 --> 00:15:20,800 And so he arose and followed him, his disciples, his 264 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,100 disciples, his they the disciples, some of whom he 265 00:15:24,100 --> 00:15:27,500 called there in Capernaum. They come in with him as well. 266 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,100 And while they're on the way to do this miracle, while they're 267 00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:36,100 on the way to visit this little 12 year, old girl who is in the 268 00:15:36,100 --> 00:15:39,400 process of dying. It's not that she was bad sake. 269 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,100 She was dying and she was dead. But while they're on the way to 270 00:15:44,100 --> 00:15:48,200 do a miracle behold, another miracle breaks out What was it 271 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,600 in? Princess Bride at Duane within a 272 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,000 dream here. We have a miracle within a 273 00:15:53,008 --> 00:15:55,600 miracle. And so, as Jesus is going 274 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,600 through the streets of Capernaum with crowds everywhere all 275 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,700 around him, there, this is Behold a woman, which was 276 00:16:00,700 --> 00:16:03,900 disease with an issue of blood. Twelve years came behind him and 277 00:16:03,900 --> 00:16:06,700 touched the Hem of His Garment. So she comes up behind him. 278 00:16:06,700 --> 00:16:09,500 He does not see her. She comes up behind him touches 279 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,800 the border of His Garment. Now, I'm assuming it's about, 280 00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:15,600 you know, down down by his ankle. 281 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,100 There may have been his coat the The the touch but he touches her 282 00:16:19,100 --> 00:16:20,900 and there's people everywhere touching him. 283 00:16:20,900 --> 00:16:24,000 The other accounts say that what do you hear? 284 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:29,000 Everybody is touching you. And so Jesus, turns around, 285 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,800 Jesus turns around to first, see her. 286 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,200 And says the other accounts say who touched me is like and the 287 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,400 disciples say, well, there's so many people here. 288 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,300 How can you say, who touched me? And so he turns around to her 289 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,300 and I think it's fascinating because earlier, there in the 290 00:16:45,300 --> 00:16:49,700 chapter he knew the thaw Thoughts of the scribes Hearts 291 00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:52,500 here. He asked who it was a touched 292 00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:55,900 me, who it was at touch me. So here he knows it all here. 293 00:16:55,900 --> 00:16:59,600 Apparently, it seems like he may not know it all here in this 294 00:17:00,100 --> 00:17:03,700 probably he's asking this so that they will confess. 295 00:17:03,700 --> 00:17:05,599 So that there will be a confession there. 296 00:17:05,700 --> 00:17:09,599 And she said, within herself, if I may touch His Garment, I Shall 297 00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:13,500 Behold Jesus turned about when he saw her and said daughter be 298 00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:16,000 of good Comfort. Your faith has made you whole 299 00:17:16,900 --> 00:17:18,900 Now, what's going on here? We understand from the other 300 00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:22,599 accounts, that, as she said, as it says here, she had had this 301 00:17:22,599 --> 00:17:28,300 disease, is probably a hemorrhaging ovary or something 302 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:34,100 of that sort. 12 years, she had gone to doctors, she had not 303 00:17:34,100 --> 00:17:36,800 just gone to one doctor. She'd gone to many doctors and 304 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,400 she had spent everything that she had all of her money on it. 305 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,300 And the Bible says, they had not helped her, they had made it 306 00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:47,400 worse, they had made it worse and some of the Significance of 307 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:53,400 this 12 long years of this bleeding disorder and that's, 308 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,900 that's all of your energy is zaps all of your Vitality to do 309 00:17:57,900 --> 00:17:59,600 that. That's one thing that happened. 310 00:17:59,900 --> 00:18:04,000 But another thing that happened was that a woman who had a 311 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,400 bleeding disorder, according to the, according to the old 312 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,500 Covenant law to according the book of numbers of am not 313 00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:15,400 mistaken that she was considered, ceremoniously 314 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,200 unclean. She could not see if you're 315 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,300 ceremoniously unclean, you can't touch anybody or they become 316 00:18:22,300 --> 00:18:27,000 unclean. You can't go into the temple or 317 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000 they could not go into the synagogue here. 318 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,600 They would be separated from that. 319 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,200 She had been separated for 12 years. 320 00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:38,500 So her spiritual life was great different, great difficulty 321 00:18:38,500 --> 00:18:40,200 there. You know, all those people, you 322 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,800 know, somebody sick and you don't see them at church. 323 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,200 That's wonder you know you're going to see him the next time, 324 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,800 right. Well, you don't see him again 325 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,400 and again and again sometimes you begin to wonder about their 326 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,400 faith and sometimes that's, you know, that's kind of how we are. 327 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,400 Here was a woman who had been absent from the synagogue absent 328 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,200 from the religious gatherings for 12 years. 329 00:19:03,100 --> 00:19:04,600 So one of the people think about her. 330 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,700 Well, you can just surmise you can guess that doesn't say what 331 00:19:07,700 --> 00:19:09,400 they thought about her, but you can guess what? 332 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,400 That was this woman because of her sickness, because of her 333 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,400 illness. She could not have close 334 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,600 contact, even In with her husband, there she could not 335 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,400 have children. And so you see here that she's 336 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,700 isolated socially, she's isolated spiritually, she's 337 00:19:24,700 --> 00:19:28,300 isolated often times from her family here in this and it's 338 00:19:28,300 --> 00:19:32,200 extremely difficult thing. And so has she lost her faith? 339 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,200 No, she hasn't. Because she says, if I can Touch 340 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:39,400 the Hem of His Garment, I'll be made whole I'll be made whole, 341 00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:42,000 why in the world would she do that? 342 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,600 You know, the Bible says, and one of the other account says 343 00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:49,300 that Us felt some virtue go out of him in that. 344 00:19:50,300 --> 00:19:52,000 And who did this, who touched me? 345 00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:55,000 And she was terrified terrified here. 346 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:59,300 She was very frightened here and shook here because of this. 347 00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:05,200 Now, I would suggest to you that there is a reason why she 348 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,000 touched the Hem of His Garment. And I believe it has to do with 349 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,800 something. That is a very minor Prophecy in 350 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,800 the old Covenant in the Old Testament. 351 00:20:14,100 --> 00:20:18,300 If you turn in your Bibles to the last prophet, in the Old 352 00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:21,800 Testament, to the last book of the Old Testament, to the last 353 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,800 chapter of the last book of the Old Testament. 354 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,900 You find the Book of Malachi, Malachi, the fourth chapter. 355 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,600 And look at what it says in. Malachi chapter 4 and verse to 356 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,900 Malachi 4 and verse 2. It says this, it says, but Unto 357 00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:41,400 you, that fear, my name, shall the sun of righteousness, arise 358 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,700 with healing in his wings and you shall go forth and grow up 359 00:20:44,700 --> 00:20:49,200 as calves of the stall. Now, this is obviously, this is 360 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,600 deemed to be a Prophecy of the Messiah. 361 00:20:55,100 --> 00:20:58,300 But here the gentle healer it speaks of the gentle healer here 362 00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:01,900 in this the son of righteousness shall arise with healing in his 363 00:21:01,900 --> 00:21:05,600 wings and you can almost picture that that healing somehow know 364 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,000 some large bird with healing in his wings there. 365 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,300 But I would suggest to you. That that may not be what we 366 00:21:14,300 --> 00:21:17,200 might think of that may not be exactly what. 367 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,400 It's expressing their healing in his wings. 368 00:21:22,700 --> 00:21:24,300 The Hebrew word that's translated Wings. 369 00:21:24,300 --> 00:21:28,000 There's translated a number of things in scriptures translated 370 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,000 wings wings of a bird. Genesis one talks about the 371 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:38,100 winged fowl Genesis, where talked about Noah Gathering the 372 00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:40,700 animals. The wing, the wing foul winged 373 00:21:40,700 --> 00:21:43,500 animals were gathered there. It's talks about the wings of 374 00:21:43,500 --> 00:21:47,600 cherubims in the Old Testament, as well as their talks about the 375 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,000 corners of the Earth was a passage there, the wings of 376 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,600 corners of the earth there. R but there are passages are 377 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:59,100 places in scripture where it talks about the borders of a 378 00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:03,500 garment, if you will, if you will look in numbers, I'm not 379 00:22:03,500 --> 00:22:09,300 mistaken numbers the yes. Number of the 15th chapter In 380 00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:13,500 verse 38 speaking to the children of Israel, God says, to 381 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,700 Moses speaking to the shoulder bid them that they make 382 00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:22,100 themselves, that they make them fringes on the borders of their 383 00:22:22,100 --> 00:22:25,000 garments borders. There's the same one that has 384 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:31,500 wings in Malachi 4, verse 2. Same word that they make fringes 385 00:22:31,500 --> 00:22:34,900 on the borders of their garments throughout their Generations, 386 00:22:34,900 --> 00:22:37,100 that they may put the fringes of the borders. 387 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,800 That's the same word again use there. 388 00:22:39,900 --> 00:22:43,900 A ribbon to Blue, and it may be as a fringe that when that you 389 00:22:43,900 --> 00:22:47,000 may look on it, and remember the Commandments of the Lord Jesus, 390 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,400 that they seek, not after your own. 391 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,600 So anyway, so on and so forth. But here was the commander to 392 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,200 the Israelites that they would put borders on their garments. 393 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:02,300 And that's that word Wings, Malachi 4, verse 2, This is also 394 00:23:02,300 --> 00:23:05,800 the passage that in. Where's my reference? 395 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,500 Where's my reference in First Kings? 396 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:13,200 And First Kings, the First Kings, the 15th First, Kings, 397 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:18,000 the 15th chapter verse 27, when Saul told, our when Samuel told 398 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:22,900 Saul that you are rejected as king over Israel, Samuel turns 399 00:23:22,900 --> 00:23:26,500 away from him, saw grabs, all, and glazed hold. 400 00:23:26,500 --> 00:23:31,600 It says his mantle and tears, His Garment tears, the border, 401 00:23:31,700 --> 00:23:34,300 the Hem of His Garment off. That's that word there. 402 00:23:34,700 --> 00:23:37,800 That's that word, translated wings and Malachi. 403 00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:42,300 That's also the word that's used later in first Samuel, when 404 00:23:42,500 --> 00:23:47,100 remember when, when Saul is chasing David and Saul goes and 405 00:23:47,100 --> 00:23:53,300 hides, in goes and relaxes takes his, he's in a cave, David is in 406 00:23:53,300 --> 00:23:56,000 that cave. David sneaks up and cuts off a 407 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,700 corner of his robe there. That word is used there at that 408 00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:03,300 place use, not only that, but on just once but three different 409 00:24:03,300 --> 00:24:09,300 times right there, that word that word the wing So, I would 410 00:24:09,300 --> 00:24:16,500 suggest to you, that it might be that this woman who some people 411 00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:19,500 would question, perhaps questioned her faith. 412 00:24:20,100 --> 00:24:23,100 Had great faith, had great faith. 413 00:24:23,500 --> 00:24:27,500 In the words of scripture, and in, what was said, in scripture 414 00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:33,100 healing in his fringes, in the borders of his garments healing 415 00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:36,800 in his wings and she said, if I can just touch the border of His 416 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,300 Garment, I shall be healed. And Jesus said, who touched me? 417 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,200 And then he said, unto her daughter be of good Comfort. 418 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,900 Your faith has made you whole, what was it about her faith? 419 00:24:46,900 --> 00:24:49,800 That made her whole, was it simply the power of I think it 420 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,300 can happen? I think it can happen. 421 00:24:51,900 --> 00:24:56,600 No, I think it was claiming the prophecy. 422 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,900 The Fulfillment of that prophecy there. 423 00:24:58,900 --> 00:25:02,500 Your faith. In the prophecy of God about me 424 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,000 has made you whole and we find another passages there in the 425 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,800 New Testament in that in the gospel accounts that there They 426 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,500 brought their people came to him and they touch the borders of 427 00:25:11,500 --> 00:25:14,600 His Garment, the Hem of His Garment and they were healed. 428 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,800 So I think it's a matter of Faith, a matter of faith, in 429 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,700 what the scripture says, not just the matter of the power of 430 00:25:21,700 --> 00:25:26,000 someone's Faith. The exercise of it as a force 431 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,200 itself, but it's their faith in what scripture says. 432 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000 And so she was healed. She was healed from that moment 433 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,700 on and now we go back to the miracle. 434 00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:40,600 That first, we started with here, Jesus is on his way to the 435 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,600 rulers house. The ruler of the synagogue's. 436 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,400 When he came into the rulers house, he saw the minstrels and 437 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,700 the people making a noise there. Apparently, the cheapest of 438 00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:52,500 people had to hire a few flute players and had to hire 439 00:25:52,500 --> 00:25:57,800 professional, mourners to come and to, you know, to play music 440 00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,200 and to, and to mourn at this. And so, this is what was taking 441 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,000 place here. They were already there, they 442 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,500 informed him that she is dead. They had informed that she is 443 00:26:06,500 --> 00:26:09,700 already dead, and Jesus says, give Place. 444 00:26:09,900 --> 00:26:14,400 Make room for the maid is not dead, but sleeps And they 445 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,000 laughed him to Scorn, the scripture says there. 446 00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:20,300 And so, when they put the people out, Jesus goes in with her 447 00:26:20,300 --> 00:26:24,000 mother and father and I believe about three, Three of his 448 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,600 closest disciples. He goes, he takes her by the 449 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,400 hand and the maid arose in the fame, their of went abroad and 450 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,600 all women. So here, you see, the gentle 451 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,200 healer. Raises people from the dead. 452 00:26:36,900 --> 00:26:40,500 The gentle healer raise people from the dead because as Jesus 453 00:26:40,500 --> 00:26:44,900 said in Matthew orange on the 11th, John the 11th chapter, 454 00:26:44,900 --> 00:26:47,700 when he raised Lazarus from the dead. 455 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,800 He said this, he said because I am the resurrection and the 456 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,900 life. There, John, 8:11, inverse, 457 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,800 where are we John? 11 verse 25. 458 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,700 I am the resurrection and the life and he that believes in me 459 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,200 though, Though he were dead yet, shall he? 460 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,900 Live and whoever lives and Believes In Me and Ami and me 461 00:27:08,900 --> 00:27:11,000 shall never die. Believe us down this. 462 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,100 And so this is Jesus, this is the gentle healer showing that 463 00:27:16,100 --> 00:27:19,800 he has power over death, power over death. 464 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:26,600 Because he will raise people. He raises people from the dead 465 00:27:26,900 --> 00:27:31,500 notice here in this, that, Jesus touches these people, Jesus 466 00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:33,200 touches. These people, he touches the 467 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,400 woman who had the issue of blood. 468 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,800 What would happen? If someone touch this woman who 469 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,200 had an issue of blood, they would be ceremoniously unclean. 470 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,600 Their be ceremonially unclean until the evening, then they 471 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,700 would wash. And sometimes they would offer a 472 00:27:44,700 --> 00:27:47,100 sacrifice have to offer sacrifice their according to Old 473 00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:50,300 Covenant law, but they would be unbe made in clean by touching 474 00:27:50,300 --> 00:27:52,500 her. Someone who touches a dead body. 475 00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:54,400 They were also ceremoniously unclean. 476 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:59,100 Jesus makes, no makes no shame about. 477 00:27:59,100 --> 00:28:02,500 It makes no, hesitation, he's not afraid for the woman to 478 00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:04,100 touch him. He is not afraid to touch a dead 479 00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:08,700 body, because here's what Jesus does Jesus by his touch, makes 480 00:28:08,700 --> 00:28:13,300 the unclean clean. He reserved, he reversed the 481 00:28:13,300 --> 00:28:15,500 natural order of how things would be. 482 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,100 He did not become unclean, but he made them clean, he made 483 00:28:19,100 --> 00:28:22,300 them, hold, he made them alive there in that. 484 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,500 And that's what we see here in this. 485 00:28:24,500 --> 00:28:29,600 And so, those G, the gentle healer goes to them, goes to 486 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,100 them. And he is like no other because 487 00:28:32,100 --> 00:28:37,300 this with his touch, he heals you and he makes you whole here 488 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,900 in this Matthew, the ninth chapter their verses 20 and 21 489 00:28:40,900 --> 00:28:42,100 here. Here in Capernaum. 490 00:28:42,100 --> 00:28:45,600 Again, the gentle healer, the Bible says that he leaves and he 491 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,300 goes down the road. A ways two, Blind Men, follow 492 00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:54,700 him, crying verse 27, son of David, have mercy on us. 493 00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:57,900 And so these are not just haphazard words they say, but 494 00:28:57,900 --> 00:29:01,000 they cry out to him as the son of David. 495 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,800 Now, I suppose you could say, If people could trace their 496 00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,700 genealogies and they did, they could say, there might be many 497 00:29:06,700 --> 00:29:09,600 people who are ancestors or whose ancestry can trace their 498 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,300 ancestry back to David, But what they're saying about him is that 499 00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:20,600 you are the son of David and the son of David here in this 500 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:25,800 context is the son of David who would be raised up and sit on 501 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,900 his throne the son of David is the Messiah so these men call to 502 00:29:30,900 --> 00:29:35,100 him as the son of David. You are the king of Israel, you 503 00:29:35,100 --> 00:29:37,600 are the Messiah and what do they ask for? 504 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,400 They ask have mercy on me, have mercy on us. 505 00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:43,900 Us. What's the response to Mercy 506 00:29:44,100 --> 00:29:46,800 response to Mercy is compassion? And that's what we're seeing 507 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:51,000 here in all of the works that the gentle healer is doing his 508 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,200 compassion, for those who are suffering, who are in straights, 509 00:29:55,500 --> 00:29:58,500 and who are having great difficulties as it said from 510 00:29:58,500 --> 00:30:02,000 Isaiah, he bore our sicknesses and carried our sorrows in this 511 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,900 is the compassion of the lord of the Lord. 512 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,900 Notice over here in verse 36 of Matthew 9, when he saw the 513 00:30:06,900 --> 00:30:09,900 multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them because they 514 00:30:09,900 --> 00:30:13,300 fainted and were scattered. It abroad as sheep, having no 515 00:30:13,300 --> 00:30:17,100 Shepherd. So, these men cry out, son of 516 00:30:17,100 --> 00:30:20,400 David, great, testimony of Faith, great statement of faith, 517 00:30:20,500 --> 00:30:24,400 have mercy on us. They asked they beg for him to 518 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:29,600 have mercy. And Jesus walks on, apparently. 519 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:35,100 Because he doesn't reply to them, he goes back to the house. 520 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,300 He goes inside the house. And they're left behind. 521 00:30:41,100 --> 00:30:43,900 But notice next year, what happens here, and when he was 522 00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:46,000 come into the house, the Blind Men came to him. 523 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,600 Oh, he leaves them outside, but they find their way inside. 524 00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,900 They come to him. And Jesus says, then believe 525 00:30:52,900 --> 00:30:56,100 you, that I am able to do this. And they say, yay Lord! 526 00:30:56,100 --> 00:30:58,700 Yes! Lord, you can do this. 527 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,200 He touched their eyes saying according to your faith. 528 00:31:02,900 --> 00:31:06,400 Be it unto you. According to your faith, be it 529 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:09,800 unto, you does that leave. Like okay, with one man has two 530 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,800 Blind Men there. One has great faith when has a 531 00:31:11,808 --> 00:31:16,100 little faith and so this man gets perfect vision, this one is 532 00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:19,900 only cured in one eye, according to your faith, you know, have a 533 00:31:19,900 --> 00:31:22,100 no, no, that's not it, that's not what they're saying. 534 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:29,700 Their faith was son of David have mercy on us Messiah, you 535 00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:33,400 can heal us, please heal us, according to your faith. 536 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,500 Be it unto you. And I would like to suggest to, 537 00:31:36,500 --> 00:31:39,600 you hear that, what we see here, the gentle healer doing is G. 538 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,300 The gentle healer is doing a unique Miracle among the sons of 539 00:31:44,300 --> 00:31:47,500 men. That this was a unique Miracle 540 00:31:47,500 --> 00:31:51,500 of the Messiah. Healing, someone who was born 541 00:31:51,500 --> 00:31:55,600 blind if you turn to Matthew or touch or not Matthew to John the 542 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,500 ninth chapter John, the ninth chapter, you have an entire 543 00:31:58,500 --> 00:32:01,600 chapter, we're not going to go through all of that there but 544 00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,500 John the ninth chapter, here is a man who was born blind. 545 00:32:05,100 --> 00:32:07,300 And that, the first of the chapter kind of the Preamble of 546 00:32:07,300 --> 00:32:09,700 it, the disciples come to Jesus and says, who sinned? 547 00:32:09,700 --> 00:32:11,500 This, man. Standard did his parents sin 548 00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:14,900 that he was born blind. And Jesus simply says this, he 549 00:32:14,900 --> 00:32:17,900 says neither. Neither has he sent or did they 550 00:32:17,900 --> 00:32:22,400 sinned but he was born blind so that the works of God should be 551 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,300 made manifest in him. You know, the a simple way to 552 00:32:25,300 --> 00:32:28,600 boil that down his. This man was born blind so I can 553 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,400 heal him today. That's what he's basically 554 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,200 saying. And so Jesus, then heals him. 555 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:39,100 He says he makes he spits on the ground and he takes that spit. 556 00:32:39,300 --> 00:32:42,500 And he mixes it with the dirt, the dust and he makes some clay 557 00:32:42,500 --> 00:32:44,800 out of it and puts it on the Man's eyes. 558 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,300 And he says, Go and wash a said, go and wash in the pool of 559 00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:55,000 Siloam and so he does it. He comes back and he comes 560 00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:59,200 seeing he comes see. Now it's interesting here, the 561 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:03,400 gentle healer can heal. However, he wants to, he can 562 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,700 heal dial it in as we said, he can heal by speaking forgiveness 563 00:33:07,700 --> 00:33:10,800 of sins, he can heal by touching with the hand. 564 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,800 He can heal by being touched and here he can heal with spit and 565 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,800 mud. They're heal the eyes of one, 566 00:33:16,808 --> 00:33:21,000 born blind, but this causes a big brouhaha there on that 567 00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,200 occasion. And John the John, the Night 568 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,200 chapter because this was done on the Sabbath day. 569 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,600 And so the Jews say this, man, is healing on the Sabbath day. 570 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:35,400 We know that he is not of God because he, he is, he is working 571 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,600 on the Sabbath day. Not only was he healing, but he 572 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,800 makes he's making mud, and he's putting on people's eyes here on 573 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,800 this. And so, they, they make a big 574 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,100 deal out of It's a even implicate, his parents in it 575 00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:51,200 there, and they implicate him, they come to him and they say, 576 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,100 what do you know about this man? What can you say about him? 577 00:33:54,300 --> 00:34:00,000 And the they say they reviled him verse 28 and said, you are 578 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,000 his disciple to the blind man to formally blind, man, you're a 579 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:08,900 follower of this man who is not from God because he heals on the 580 00:34:08,900 --> 00:34:11,900 Sabbath day. We know that, but we are Moses 581 00:34:11,900 --> 00:34:14,500 disciple. We know that God spoke to Moses 582 00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,300 as for this fellow. Though, we don't know where he 583 00:34:16,300 --> 00:34:18,900 came from, we don't know what his source of authority is. 584 00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:25,699 Now, here the blind man. Teaches his teachers. 585 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,199 The blind man teaches his teachers. 586 00:34:28,199 --> 00:34:31,800 In those days it was difficult and I understand it was his very 587 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,300 difficult for a blind man. To get an education, like others 588 00:34:34,300 --> 00:34:38,000 would be most of his education. Obviously, he could not read the 589 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,400 books that were there. He had to have someone else read 590 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,800 into them or he could not hear a, he could not do many, of the 591 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,600 things that the others would do. He would hear and learn at the 592 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:51,500 synagogue there, where these Pharisees were, these Jews were 593 00:34:51,500 --> 00:34:54,900 probably prominent citizens there in the synagogue. 594 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:59,800 And so here's what he says, I'm to the Jews and to the Jewish 595 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:04,400 leaders, then he says we're here in is a marvelous thing. 596 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,800 This is amazing. He says, we know not from which 597 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,400 he is and yet he has opened my eyes. 598 00:35:11,700 --> 00:35:15,400 You don't know where he comes from and yet he's opened my 599 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,400 eyes. Listen to his logical reasoning 600 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,200 here next. He says, now we know number one, 601 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,900 that God hears, not Sinners. But if any man be a worshiper of 602 00:35:23,900 --> 00:35:26,800 God and do it this hill, it is, Will him he heareth. 603 00:35:27,300 --> 00:35:28,900 Now this is the formerly blind man. 604 00:35:28,900 --> 00:35:32,700 Who says this to the Jewish leaders there in his town. 605 00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:39,000 He says What he learned that God doesn't hear sinners. 606 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,700 But if any man be worse with God and do some does his will he 607 00:35:41,700 --> 00:35:42,800 hears that? Where'd you learn that from? 608 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:47,800 He learned it from them, then the ones who teach you, And then 609 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:52,700 secondly he says since the world began verse 32 was it not heard 610 00:35:52,700 --> 00:35:55,900 that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. 611 00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,800 That's the second thing he says, it has never been done since the 612 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:04,700 beginning of the world. Someone opened the eyes of one 613 00:36:04,700 --> 00:36:10,200 that was born blind, And then he says, if this man were not of 614 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:15,200 God, he could do nothing. Very logical what he is 615 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,700 thinking. If he's a sinner as you say, God 616 00:36:18,700 --> 00:36:22,300 wouldn't hear him, no one opens. The eyes of someone born blind. 617 00:36:22,300 --> 00:36:24,500 If this man were not from God, he could do nothing. 618 00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,500 But let's talk about that. Just a little bit what it says 619 00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:30,800 they're about the opening of the eyes of the one that was born 620 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,000 blind. If you turn to the Book of Luke, 621 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:37,800 Luke the fourth chapter please we'll go right there and Luke 622 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:42,700 the fourth chapter Jesus goes into Nazareth, goes into the 623 00:36:42,700 --> 00:36:48,500 synagogue of and as sorry. I thought I had this Mark but 624 00:36:48,500 --> 00:36:54,500 maybe I did. Goes into the synagogue on the 625 00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:57,900 Sabbath day and the Bible says, what he does. 626 00:36:57,900 --> 00:37:01,000 He goes into the synagogue and he is doing the reading of 627 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,100 scripture that day. My understanding was that most 628 00:37:04,100 --> 00:37:08,800 often that he is reading was not just a random scripture, but it 629 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,200 was, this was their organized. This is an organized system of 630 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:19,400 reading scripture, and so the Bible says he, Gabrielle right 631 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:25,100 chapter to read this. Look for in verse 17, there it 632 00:37:25,100 --> 00:37:27,700 was delivered in him. The book, The Scroll from the 633 00:37:27,700 --> 00:37:31,300 book of Isaiah which he had opened the book, he found the 634 00:37:31,300 --> 00:37:33,900 place where it was written. This was the reading for the 635 00:37:33,900 --> 00:37:37,200 day. This is from Isaiah, 61 verses 1 636 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,200 and 2. Here's what he reads. 637 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,600 He says, the spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has 638 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,000 anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor. 639 00:37:45,700 --> 00:37:48,500 He has sent me. Me to heal the brokenhearted to 640 00:37:48,500 --> 00:37:51,100 preach Deliverance to the captives, the recovering of 641 00:37:51,100 --> 00:37:54,600 sight to the blind to set at Liberty, them that are bruised 642 00:37:54,700 --> 00:37:57,500 to preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 643 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:02,700 So that's his text to verses from the Old Testament to 644 00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:06,500 prophecies from the Old Testament and he closes the book 645 00:38:06,500 --> 00:38:11,300 gives it to you know the that synagogues version of Jarius 646 00:38:11,300 --> 00:38:15,500 there, the president, the leader of the synagogue gives it to 647 00:38:15,508 --> 00:38:16,700 him. Gives it to the minister. 648 00:38:16,700 --> 00:38:20,100 It says he sat down and so he would stand to read scripture 649 00:38:20,100 --> 00:38:21,800 and sit down to deliver the message. 650 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:23,800 There about expound upon the scripture. 651 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,300 He sets down the eyes of all of them were in the congregation 652 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:30,000 were fastened on him, and he began To teach them this day. 653 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,100 Is this scripture fulfilled in your ears? 654 00:38:33,100 --> 00:38:35,300 I wanted to look at what something I had here. 655 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:43,100 And that is that one translation says this, I am the Fulfillment 656 00:38:43,100 --> 00:38:48,000 of this scripture. I'm sorry. 657 00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:53,400 My chicken scratching here is not good enough here so I cannot 658 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:58,100 see this. Oh here's what the is V says. 659 00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:05,700 This day, this scripture is fulfilled as you have heard it 660 00:39:05,700 --> 00:39:10,600 red. This scripture has been 661 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:14,100 fulfilled as you have. Heard it read The Gentle healer, 662 00:39:14,100 --> 00:39:16,100 here tells the people of his own town. 663 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,400 I am the Fulfillment of that prophecy there. 664 00:39:20,300 --> 00:39:24,500 If you turn over there again, in Luke, the 7th chapter, just a 665 00:39:24,508 --> 00:39:30,300 couple of pages over there. You find a time in which Jesus 666 00:39:30,300 --> 00:39:32,600 is working miracles and doing things. 667 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:36,100 John has been cast John. The Baptist has been thrown into 668 00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:38,800 prison. He sends a couple of his 669 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,500 disciples to Jesus with a question. 670 00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:46,000 He said, are you he that should come or should we look for 671 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,800 another? Are you the Messiah or should we 672 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,100 look for another? I don't think John had doubts 673 00:39:51,100 --> 00:39:53,500 about who the Messiah was because John was the one who 674 00:39:53,500 --> 00:39:56,300 announced the Messiah Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the 675 00:39:56,300 --> 00:40:01,400 sin of the world. I don't think John John, I don't 676 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,600 think John lost his faith there, but I think John is saying to 677 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:07,600 him. If you're the Messiah come out 678 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,800 and tell people come out and tell him come out and say it, 679 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,900 and here's what Jesus reply is to his two disciples. 680 00:40:14,900 --> 00:40:19,600 He says Jesus answering said of them verse 22, go your way and 681 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,700 tell John what things you have seen and heard. 682 00:40:23,700 --> 00:40:27,600 So Jesus here during his ministry, he was not about 683 00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:32,200 carrying banners saying, I am the Messiah, he was not about 684 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,600 that, that's not what he was doing. 685 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,400 And that's not what he was going to do. 686 00:40:36,100 --> 00:40:38,100 But rather what he was doing, was he saying? 687 00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,400 I'm throwing the evidence out there. 688 00:40:41,100 --> 00:40:45,600 I'm healing the palsy man. He said, I'm telling him, your 689 00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,700 sins are forgiven. I'm raising people from the 690 00:40:47,700 --> 00:40:49,600 dead. I am healing people from a 691 00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,800 distance. I'm healing those who touch me? 692 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,400 I'm doing all these things. What? 693 00:40:53,500 --> 00:40:56,000 Is that that is evidence of who I am. 694 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,500 And this is what he says here to John's disciples here. 695 00:40:59,500 --> 00:41:01,300 He says go your way. I'll tell John the things you've 696 00:41:01,300 --> 00:41:05,100 seen in her house. That the blind, see the blind, 697 00:41:05,100 --> 00:41:08,800 see the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the 698 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,900 dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them 699 00:41:11,900 --> 00:41:14,800 and blessed he who is not who is not offended in me. 700 00:41:15,100 --> 00:41:19,800 So, the words The Works that Jesus did that was the testimony 701 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,000 about him as the Messiah. That's what it was. 702 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:28,400 And so the gentle healer here. This was a unique miracle that 703 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,100 the Messiah would do nobody else heals the, the eyes of someone 704 00:41:32,100 --> 00:41:35,100 that was born blind, we have some who were healing. 705 00:41:35,100 --> 00:41:40,500 Some who had been blind later. Remember ananias came in and 706 00:41:40,500 --> 00:41:44,100 touch Saul and the scales fell off his eyes later. 707 00:41:44,700 --> 00:41:47,700 Paul makes a man blind for three days there. 708 00:41:47,700 --> 00:41:50,200 I guess that's a little reverse there, but it's not someone who 709 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:55,600 was born, blind only Jesus. The Messiah would do that and 710 00:41:55,600 --> 00:42:00,000 I'm going to side I did it. And so back in John the ninth 711 00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:04,400 chapter, when this formally blind, man tells you know, God 712 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,900 doesn't hear sinners. Nobody hears nobody from from 713 00:42:07,900 --> 00:42:09,700 the beginning of the world, nobody heals. 714 00:42:09,700 --> 00:42:12,600 The one that was born, blind. If this man were not from God, 715 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:16,100 he could do nothing. And the Bible says, and when 716 00:42:16,100 --> 00:42:17,900 they heard this, they answered and said unto him. 717 00:42:17,900 --> 00:42:20,400 You were all together born in sin. 718 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:24,400 Do you teach us? Were the teachers and you're 719 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:26,800 trying to teach us. Now, what they learned it, when 720 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,200 he learned that he learned it from them. 721 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,700 Their interpretation was correct, their application was 722 00:42:34,700 --> 00:42:37,400 wrong. Their application was wrong. 723 00:42:38,100 --> 00:42:40,000 Do you teach us and they cast him out? 724 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:41,300 They cast him out of the synagogue. 725 00:42:42,300 --> 00:42:48,600 So let's go on before, we way, way before we belabor your your 726 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,300 your courtesy here. Let's look then. 727 00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:58,100 After this, after this it says so Jesus healed them according 728 00:42:58,100 --> 00:43:00,500 to your faith, be it unto. You is what he says. 729 00:43:00,500 --> 00:43:05,600 In verse 29 of Matthew 92, these two Blind Men According to your 730 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,200 faith. Your faith in me, is the Son of 731 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,200 God. Your faith in me as the Messiah, 732 00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:14,300 your faith in me as the Fulfillment of scripture, they 733 00:43:14,300 --> 00:43:18,500 may not have thought about Isaiah 62, healing the one 734 00:43:18,500 --> 00:43:22,800 who's, you know, the blind one, healing of the blind, but they 735 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,300 had faith in him as the Messiah, according to your faith, be it 736 00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:27,300 unto you. And this is what the Messiah 737 00:43:27,300 --> 00:43:29,200 doesn't. And so, I will heal the Brian 738 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:32,100 there and their eyes were open and they Jesus straitly, charged 739 00:43:32,100 --> 00:43:34,700 them saying, don't tell anybody. But they went out and they told 740 00:43:34,900 --> 00:43:39,700 Body basically is what it was and as they went out, behold, 741 00:43:39,700 --> 00:43:43,200 they brought it to him, the dumb, the mute man, possessed 742 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:46,900 with a demon and when the devil was cast out of him, the mute 743 00:43:46,900 --> 00:43:50,400 man, that dumb man, spake and the multitudes marveled saying 744 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,100 it was never seen in Israel, but the Pharisees says he cast out 745 00:43:54,100 --> 00:43:56,400 Devils through the prince of devils. 746 00:43:56,700 --> 00:43:59,700 And Jesus went about all the cities and Villages teaching in 747 00:43:59,700 --> 00:44:03,000 their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and 748 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,400 healing every sickness. Sickness, and every disease 749 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,200 among the people. And so it talks about the 750 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,600 completeness of what the Messiah did, the completeness of what 751 00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:16,400 the gentle healer did he healed every disease and every sickness 752 00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,200 among the people but you know, he did not raise all the people 753 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,800 from the dead along the countryside. 754 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,000 He raised the people from the dead that he came in contact 755 00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:28,800 with, he did not heal, all the people who are disease, because 756 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,500 there were other people that were diseased. 757 00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:36,200 There was a lame man in Acts the syntax of the third chapter 758 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,100 there. Jesus didn't heal him during his 759 00:44:39,100 --> 00:44:40,900 ministry. He was a lane, man. 760 00:44:40,900 --> 00:44:45,000 He didn't heal everybody there. But he'll those that he came in 761 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:51,100 contact with why, so they can bear their infirmities and carry 762 00:44:51,100 --> 00:44:55,600 their weaknesses as the prophet. Isaiah said, also, here in this, 763 00:44:55,800 --> 00:45:01,000 this is that there will be a time in which Jesus will will 764 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,200 raise all of those from the dead Jesus said. 765 00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:07,000 In Matthew the fifth chapter verses 28 and 29. 766 00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,600 He said, Marvel, not at this, for the hour is coming in, which 767 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,500 all who are in the graves, shall hear his voice and shall come 768 00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:14,700 forth. They that have done good to the 769 00:45:14,700 --> 00:45:16,600 resurrection of Life, they that have done evil to the 770 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:20,900 resurrection of damnation. This is what the gentle healer 771 00:45:20,900 --> 00:45:22,700 says. This is what the gentle healer 772 00:45:22,700 --> 00:45:29,000 was pointing to by his miracles. That he was of God, he was the 773 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:33,900 son of God and that he could in that he was the one who could 774 00:45:33,900 --> 00:45:40,100 bear their weaknesses, their abilities, and also, and also 775 00:45:40,100 --> 00:45:43,700 would do that someday raised people all of those from the day 776 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,300 and acts the second chapter in Acts. 777 00:45:46,300 --> 00:45:49,300 The second chapter when Peter is preaching on the day of 778 00:45:49,300 --> 00:45:53,900 Pentecost to the Jews. Here's what he says about the 779 00:45:53,900 --> 00:45:58,600 gentle healer at this. He says, you mean of men of 780 00:45:58,607 --> 00:46:02,800 Galilee permit, not that you men of Israel. 781 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:07,500 Hear these words, Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God 782 00:46:07,500 --> 00:46:13,000 among you a man proven by God among you. 783 00:46:14,900 --> 00:46:20,200 By Miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in 784 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,400 the midst of you as you yourselves. 785 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:30,100 Also, no, He said these miracles signs and wonders which God did 786 00:46:30,300 --> 00:46:34,100 through Jesus, this was his proof. 787 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:39,100 This was God's proof that Jesus was the Messiah. 788 00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,400 And he makes it so plain to them. 789 00:46:42,700 --> 00:46:46,400 He did them in your midst. That would have been enough. 790 00:46:46,700 --> 00:46:50,300 It seems like God did them in your midst. 791 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,500 As you yourselves in the midst of you. 792 00:46:54,500 --> 00:46:59,700 He says as you yourselves also know he did it and you know he 793 00:46:59,700 --> 00:47:04,100 did it here again. They understood it. 794 00:47:04,700 --> 00:47:07,700 They did not apply it. They did not apply it to their 795 00:47:07,700 --> 00:47:10,000 lives and so they were Wicked people because of that. 796 00:47:10,100 --> 00:47:12,200 He says, then you took him by Wicked hands. 797 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:16,000 You crucified you slew him and he said in God has raised him up 798 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,400 having loosed. The Pains of death was caused 799 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,300 impossible, that he should be held by there's some moments 800 00:47:19,300 --> 00:47:24,100 more things we could say. About the gentle healer but the 801 00:47:24,100 --> 00:47:26,600 gentle healer has compassion on people. 802 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:31,800 The gentle healer has compassion on you how wonderful it would be 803 00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,700 for the gentle healer to be here today. 804 00:47:33,700 --> 00:47:38,300 And to heal those who are sick, they're those probably who have 805 00:47:38,300 --> 00:47:40,200 sicknesses that we can't see that. 806 00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,900 You don't may have not have shared with anyone. 807 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,700 There are those who have loved ones who have sicknesses and 808 00:47:45,700 --> 00:47:47,600 illnesses.
