Matthew 4:23-25 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom… I. Christ is able to cure ALL SORTS of sins. Lover of lust, dropsy of drunkenness, stone in the heart, etc. II. Christ healed INCURABLE sinners — people who had diseases which were beyond the physicians' skill. There is hope for incurable sinners. III. Jesus healed diseases FROM ALL COUNTRIES, and so He can heal sinners of all lands (vers. 24, 25). He is able to save without any distinction of race, or clime, or time, or place. IV. Jesus Christ healed sinners without ANY LIMITATION IN NUMBERS — "multitudes." Christ is as able to save a multitude as to save one. V. HE RECEIVED NOTHING for all that He did, except the fame, and the honour, and the gratitude of their loving hearts. So to-day, poor sinner, Jesus will take nothing at thy hands, and it is a mercy for thee, for thou hast nothing to give. (C. H. Spurgeon.) Parallel Verses KJV: And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. |
