Matthew 9

MATTHEW

What did Jesus say that disturbed the scribes, and what did they say afterwards?

Why were the Pharisees not in favor of Jesus eating with tax collectors and "sinners" ?
How did Jesus respond to them?

Which man came to Jesus with news that his daughter had died? What did he ask of Jesus?

Who touched Jesus' garment hoping to be healed? What was Jesus' response to her?

How did demons have a physical affect on a man that Jesus healed? How did the Pharisees respond to Jesus healing him?

There were two things that Jesus did, hand in hand, while teaching in the synagogues. What two things were they?

How did Jesus respond to seeing the crowds of people and the lack of teachers? What does he say about this?

What does "a sheep without a shepherd" mean? How is this related spiritually to the situation?

Have you fasted? If so, what were you fasting for? From? Have you considered fasting again?

Are you a sheep aimlessly walking around in the pasture, or a sheep who follows the Shepherd close? Reflect on what this truly means in your life.
"The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." This is still a very true statement. I am not specifying to overseas missions, although that is definitely included in what this statement means. Today, I am challenging you are you working in the plentiful harvest around you? How can you respond to this: "...therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest." ?

"The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few..." {Verse 37b}
