Message: The Gospel According to Matthew
Text: Matthew 9:18-22
Approaching Jesus
The touch-two ways.
Standing, bowing, kneeling, crawling.
He asks for his daughter. She asks for herself.
He can talk about it. She can’t.
Immediate need. Long term need.
I ask for my daughter’s life back. I ask for my life back.
Incredible faith. More desperation than faith.
“Faith stretched thin is thick enough.”
Pride is an enemy of faith. Need is a great destroyer of pride.
