In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will explore Matthew 8 and Jesus’ healing ministry after the Sermon on the Mount. Learn how Jesus responds to a leper, a Roman centurion, and Peter’s mother-in-law with compassion, authority, and healing. They explain the difference between curious crowds and committed disciples, the centurion’s remarkable faith, and why the gospel is available to people from every nation and background. They also examine how the cleansing ritual in Leviticus points to Jesus’ sacrifice and how his miracles connect with the cross. Consider who in your life needs prayer and how you can bring their suffering to Jesus through intercession. Watch to better understand the authority, mercy, and healing power of Jesus.
