Matthew – Beginning of Healings
January 25, 2010
Shortly after Jesus begins His ministry, John the Baptist is arrested
and Jesus begins to ramp up His ministry, proclaiming a message of
repentance, and in fact manifesting His power with the very intimate
healing of a leper and the healing of a Gentile centurion’s servant.
Jesus has some very strong teaching on mission, telling men that they
must leave behind all earthly things if they wish to become His
disciples. The mission is difficult work, and involves relying on the
hospitality of towns to allow Jesus and His disciples to enter and work
miracles there. Even after He heals a demoniac, the Gadarenes beg Him
to leave the area because His healing disturbs them.
The closing theme is Gerard Satamian’s Chansons Sans Paroles Op. 2 Pastorale, from the album Dry Fig Trees. www.magnatune.com
