Daily Walk Through the New Testament

Read Matthew 9:18-10:10

In Matthew 8:1-9:34, we see 10 miracles that demonstrate the divine identity of Jesus. By raising the dead and healing the blind (no blind man had ever been healed before up to this point), the theme of messianic authority reaches a climax with the greatest miracles of all. The inclusion of a mute man speaking marks the fulfillment of Isaiah 35:5-6. Immediately following this crescendo, the emphasis turns toward sharing Jesus with others. Those who accept His identity will also embrace this important mission. Leading others to accept Jesus as their Savior and Lord is the greatest expression that we really understand who He is. Who will you share Jesus with today?
