A Day in the Life of the Master

Song: Wonderful Love Of Jesus

Scripture: Matthew 9:18-26

Wouldn't it have been fine to have followed Jesus around for just one day to witness the lives and events He affected? There is so much to be learned from even one day in the life of Jesus.

Jesus had time. Jesus was constantly interrupted by people in distress like the synagogue official mourning his daughter or the lady afflicted with a hemorrhage for twelve years. Jesus made the most of such interruptions. You'll have interruptions today. Plan for them. Make the most of them. Have time for who matters—people.

Jesus knows. The woman with the flow of blood said, "If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well." She said this to herself but Jesus heard her thoughts. He turned answering her,"Your faith has made you well." Jesus knows your faith. We who have not spoken face-to-face with Him are assured by this account that He knows even when no one seems to know how hard we're trying.

Jesus will be vindicated. Jesus saw the mass of mourners. He said, "The girl is only sleeping." He knew what was coming next. The people mocked. They were forthrightly dismissed from thehouse. Shortly afterwards a healthy girl emerged. Folks will mock and ridicule your faith but one day the Lord will vindicate His cause and His people.

Follow Jesus today. He has given you this day. He'll help you make the most of it.
