KEY VERSE: “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses” (Matthew 8:17).
TEXT: Matthew 8:14-17
And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.
15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

After his vision of God and the consequent transforming experience he had, Isaiah’s ministry was never the same. True to his name, Isaiah (Jehovah’s help), this renowned Hebrew prophet made pronouncements that serve as a guide not only for the Old Testament but also for the Christian world today. Inspired by God, Isaiah gave the world a range of prophecies unveiling the birth of the Messiah and His earthly ministry. Matthew, understanding Isaiah’s prophecies, saw in Jesus the fulfilment of the prophecies about the Messiah as deliverer, healer, and baptizer in the Holy Ghost.
Today’s text vividly portrays the authority of Jesus the Messiah over all circumstances of men. Entering Peter’s home and finding her mother-in-law down with fever, Jesus immediately healed her, and she got up to serve them. Earlier in this same chapter, Jesus healed a leper. A centurion who approached Jesus on behalf of his ailing servant went home rejoicing after Jesus healed him. Throughout his book, Matthew showed us the spiritual and physical transformation of everyone who encountered Jesus. None went home disappointed. Jesus’s ministry found fulfilment in their lives as they expressed faith in Him.
Matthew earlier stated in the first chapter of his gospel how Mary would bring forth a son whose name is Jesus, who would be the Saviour of His people. His people refer not only to the Jews of old but all who call on the name of the Lord: they shall be saved, healed, and delivered. The healing ministry of Christ is still active today, as confirmed by the numerous testimonies of beneficiaries who act on the word of God. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Jesus Christ still saves sinners, heals the sick, and delivers the oppressed. By placing your faith in Him, you can benefit from His long-prophesied ministry. If you are still carrying the load of sin and are burdened by guilt, let Jesus come into your life. He will give you rest from satanic oppression. Delay no longer. God’s word affirms that “whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
The spoken words of Christ is both timeless and efficacious.
