Matthew again highlights Jesus’ healing ministry. These miracles, along with the name the blind men call Jesus—“Son of David”—are intended to further establish Jesus as the prophesied Messiah of the Old Testament.

1. Matthew 9:21 – Is there anything that has convinced you to distance yourself from Jesus? Ask him to meet you in that place, and spend some time simply waiting on him and reflecting on who he is.
2. Matthew 9:24 – Are there things in your life that you feel have been lost or given up on? Pray for God to fill your heart with fresh hope and faith.
3. Matthew 9:36-37 – How are you cultivating compassion? Commit to at least one opportunity in the next month to serve and care for others.
