This passage invites us to reflect on how often we recognize and express our gratitude for the blessings God has bestowed upon us.

Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice, and he fell on his face at His feet, giving thanks to Him. And he was a Samaritan. But Jesus responded and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But the nine—where are they? Was no one found who returned to give glory to God, except this foreigner?” And He said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has made you well.”

This account not only demonstrates Jesus’ compassion and power but also challenges legalistic interpretations of the Sabbath. Through this scripture, we will explore the deeper spiritual significance of this event and consider how it applies to our lives today.

    It happened that when Jesus went into the house of one of the leaders of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching Him closely.

And He took hold of him and healed him, and sent him away. And He said to them, “Which one of you will have a son or an ox fall into a well, and will not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?” And they could offer no reply to this.

  • Jesus Heals a Woman Who Had Been Crippled for 18 Years
    Jan 25 2025

    In Luke 13:10-17, we witness Jesus demonstrating His boundless compassion and divine authority by healing a woman who had been bound by a disabling spirit for 18 years. This miraculous act not only showcases His power over physical and spiritual affliction but also highlights the conflict between legalism and grace. Through this lesson, we will explore the significance of this event, its implications for our lives, and the freedom that Christ offers to all who come to Him in faith.

    Scripture(s) in this Episode: Luke 13: 10-17 (NASB)

    Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold, there was a woman who for eighteen years had had a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent over double, and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your sickness.” And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she stood up straight again, and began glorifying God. But the synagogue leader, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, “There are six days during which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” But the Lord answered him and said, “You hypocrites! Does each of you not untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead it away to water on the Sabbath? And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this restraint on the Sabbath day?” And as He said this, all His opponents were being humiliated; and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the glorious things being done by Him.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Jesus sees and cares for those who are suffering, even when others overlook them
    • True worship and obedience to God involve acts of compassion and mercy
    • The freedom Christ offers is holistic, addressing both physical and spiritual needs
    • Legalism can hinder our ability to experience and share God’s grace
    • Jesus’ authority over affliction reminds us of His power to bring restoration and hope

  • Jesus Heals a Blind, Mute Demoniac
    Jan 18 2025

    In Matthew 12:22-23 and Luke 11:14-23, Jesus demonstrates His authority over demonic forces by healing a man who was blind and mute due to demonic oppression. This miraculous event reveals both the power of Jesus and the skepticism of those who witnessed it. Through this lesson, we will explore the implications of Jesus’ actions, the reactions of the crowd, and the eternal truths about His authority and the kingdom of God.

    Scripture(s) in this Episode: Matthew 12: 22-23 (NASB)

    Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and unable to speak was brought to Jesus, and He healed him so that the man who was unable to speak talked and could see. And all the crowds were amazed and were saying, “This man cannot be the Son of David, can he?”

    Luke 11:14-23 (NASB)

    And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute; when the demon had gone out, the man who was previously unable to speak talked, and the crowds were amazed. But some of them said, “He casts out the demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.” Others, to test Him, were demanding of Him a sign from heaven. But He knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls. And if Satan also has been divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you claim that I cast out the demons by Beelzebul. Yet if by Beelzebul I cast out the demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore, they will be your judges. But if I cast out the demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are secure. But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away his armor on which he had relied, and distributes his plunder. The one who is not with Me is against Me; and the one who does not gather with Me scatters.”

    Key Takeaways:
    • Jesus’ power is unmatched
    • Reactions to Jesus vary
    • Allegiance is essential
    • The kingdom of God is advancing

This lesson invites us to reflect on God’s power to meet our physical and spiritual needs as we navigate life’s responsibilities.

    Scripture(s) in this Episode: Matthew 17:24-27 (NASB)

    Now when they came to Capernaum, those who collected the two-drachma tax came to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the two-drachma tax?” He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?” When Peter said, “From strangers,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are exempt. However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a stater. Take that and give it to them for you and Me.”

  • Jesus Heals a Boy With an Unclean Spirit
    Jan 4 2025
    In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, we find a profound story where Jesus heals a boy possessed by an unclean spirit. This narrative not only showcases Jesus’ divine authority but also highlights the critical role of faith and prayer in our relationship with God. As we study this story, we will explore its lessons on dependence on God, the power of faith, and the necessity of prayer in overcoming life’s challenges. Scripture(s) in this Episode: Matthew 17: 14-20 (NASB) When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying, “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he has seizures and suffers terribly; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water. And I brought him to Your disciples, and they could not cure him.” And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me.” And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was healed at that moment. Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” And He said to them, “Because of your meager faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” Mark 9: 14-29 (NASB) When they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes arguing with them. Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him. And He asked them, “What are you disputing with them?” And one person from the crowd answered Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, because he has a spirit that makes him unable to speak; and whenever it seizes him, it slams him to the ground, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and becomes stiff. And I told Your disciples so that they would cast it out, but they could not do it.” And He answered them and said, “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!” And they brought the boy to Him. When He saw Him, the spirit immediately threw him into convulsions, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth. And He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. It has often thrown him both into the fire and into the water to kill him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!” But Jesus said to him, “‘If You can?’ All things are possible for the one who believes.” Immediately, the boy’s father cried out and said, “I do believe; help my unbelief!” When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again!” And after crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, “He is dead!” But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him, and he got up. When He came into the house, His disciples began asking Him privately, “Why is it that we could not cast it out?” And He said to them, “This kind cannot come out by anything except prayer.” Luke 9: 37-43 (NASB) Now on the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him. And a man from the crowd shouted, saying, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, because he is my only son, and a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly screams, and it throws him into convulsions with foaming at the mouth; and only with difficulty does it leave him, mauling him as it leaves. And I begged Your disciples to cast it out, and they could not.” And Jesus answered and said, “You unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.” Now while he was still approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground and threw him into a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. And they were all amazed at the greatness of God.

  • Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind by Spitting in His Eyes
    Dec 28 2024

    The story of Jesus healing a man born blind, as recorded in John 9:1-12, is a powerful testimony of Christ’s ability to bring both physical and spiritual sight. This miraculous event not only reveals Jesus’ compassion and divine power but also challenges us to consider how we perceive God’s work in our lives. Through this lesson, we will explore the significance of this healing and what it means to live with spiritual clarity.

    Scripture(s) in this Episode: John 9: 1-12 (NASB)

    As Jesus passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him. We must carry out the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the Light of the world.” When He had said this, He spit on the ground, and made mud from the saliva, and applied the mud to his eyes, and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he left and washed, and came back seeing. So the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, “Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?” Others were saying, “This is he,” still others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” The man himself kept saying, “I am the one.” So they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?” He answered, “The man who is called Jesus made mud, and spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went and washed, and I received sight.” And they said to him, “Where is He?” He said, “I do not know.”
