Study 11 From the Book of Matthew is: Matthew 8:1-22
1.
Consider how different the people were who received healing, and
how different our Lord’s method with them were.
What does this teach us concerning (a) His power, and (b) our work for
Him?
2.
What was so remarkable in the centurion’s faith as to elicit
Christ’s great commendation? Contrast Jn. 4:48. Note how the statement of
verses 11, 12 anticipates the revolutionary developments recorded in the
Acts. See Acts 13:45-48.
3.
Verses 18-22. Why did our Lord leave the crowds, and why did He
check two would-be disciples? Cf. Lk. 14:25-27.
Note.
In chapter 8 and 9 Matthew record nine miracles of our Lord, in three groups of
three. Matthew has this habit of grouping in subject-matter rather than in
strict chronological order.
