Living Out The Word | Never Alone

But when he heard this, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. – Matthew 9:12

• What does being “made well” mean to you?
• Was there a time when you were “well”?
• If we assume that everyone dies in this text, what’s the purpose of the miracles?
• What are we to do as followers of “the great physician”?

Scripture

Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26

Christ heals a woman and raises a girl 

9:9As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax-collection station, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him.

9:10And as he sat at dinner in the house, many tax collectors and sinners came and were sitting with Jesus and his disciples.

9:11When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

9:12But when he heard this, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.

9:13Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous but sinners."

9:18While he was saying these things to them, suddenly a leader came in and knelt before him, saying, "My daughter has just died, but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live."

9:19And Jesus got up and followed him, with his disciples.

9:20Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from a flow of blood for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak,

9:21for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch his cloak, I will be made well."

9:22Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." and the woman was made well from that moment.

9:23When Jesus came to the leader's house and saw the flute players and the crowd making a commotion,

9:24he said, "Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping." And they laughed at him.

9:25But when the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

9:26And the report of this spread through all of that district.
