The Reading for this Saturday & Sunday is Matthew 8:1-34; Psalm 9:13-20; Proverbs 3:1-8.
Today is all about the miracles of Jesus: He heals three different people of illness, calms a storm, and casts out demons. In all this, the army captain understands the best - these miracles represent Jesus' authority over this world. His authority is complete - He has authority over the physical body, nature, and the spiritual realm.
Notice that Jesus' miracles caused several different reactions - some, like the army captain, recognized Jesus for who he really was & believed; others were excited by his power, but were unwilling to truly follow him; still others were terrified by his power. Where do you stand?
