10 March 2024 - ENCS

Pastor Josh continued the series on the book of Matthew
Moving from Jesus’ words to the miracles Jesus did do
He referred to events detailed in chapters eight and nine
Which somewhat coincidentally are favourites of mine

About the power of Jesus, Josh did immediately share
For those hit by sickness and disease Jesus did care
In Matthew eight, He healed the leper and the servant
To fulfil prophecies in Isaiah, from heaven He was sent

Jesus had power over storms, from verse thirty three
Great winds and waves the disciples did fearfully see
He rebuked the great winds, saying “ye of little faith"
Remember that trials will oft hit us, Josh did sayeth

Over demonic spirits Jesus also had complete power
In the presence of possessed men, a town did cower
Jesus sent the demons into swine who then did perish
Then for Jesus to leave the area, the townfolk did wish

The compassion of Jesus was also evident in the book
He touched the “unclean” even if others dare not look
He loved the “least” and the “impossible” He did engage
Which means from our sin and pain, Jesus can assuage

In conclusion, how we should respond Joshua did ask
Not with fear and refusal or with false accusation bask
We should humble ourselves and in God fully trust
"Walking by faith, not by sight" as is often discussed
