Matthew 8
When was the last time you invited Jesus into your home?
Into the place of intimacy and reality, into your finances and decisions, your relationships, where there are no masks. Warts and all.
V14 Jesus came into Peter’s house. Think about this for a moment.
When was the last time your home did not mirror the public view of you?
You have been with the crowds, even the Roman gentry, sharing in the ministry of great teaching, healing, changed lives, absolute miracles. But at home things are getting worse.
V14 he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. Think about this for a moment.
When was the last time you received a touch from God?
Your circumstances may be beyond anyone’s help.
We need Gods touch because sometimes it is only divine intervention that can help.
There are times in our lives when we need God to touch the troubles of our lives; if not to touch the troubles, but to touch us in the trouble.
V14 He touched her hand and the fever left her. Think about this for a moment.
