Matthew 9:13 The Message
Who Needs a Doctor?
Matthew 9:1-13 Back in the boat, Jesus and the disciples recrossed the sea to Jesus' hometown,
They were hardly out of the boat when some men carried a paraplegic on a stretcher and set him down in front of them.
Jesus, impressed by their bold belief, said to the paraplegic, "Cheer up, son. I forgive your sins." Some religion scholars whispered, "Why, that's blasphemy!"
Jesus knew what they were thinking, and said, "Why this gossipy whispering?
Which do you think is simpler; to say, 'I forgive your sins,' or, 'Get up and walk'? Well, just so it's clear that I'm the Son of Man and authorized to do either, or both..."
At this he turned to the paraplegic and said, "Get up, Take your bed and go home,"
And the man did it,
The crowd was awestruck, amazed and pleased that God had authorized Jesus to work among them this way.
Passing along, Jesus saw a man at his work collecting taxes. His named was Matthew, Jesus said, "Come along with me." Matthew stood up and followed him.
Later when Jesus was eating supper at Matthew's house with his close friends, a lot of disreputable characters came and joined them.
When the Pharisees saw him keeping this kind of company, they had a fit, and lit into Jesus' followers. "What kind of example is this from your Teacher, acting cozy with crooks and riffraff?"
Jesus, overhearing, shot back, "Who needs a doctor; the healthy or the sick?
Go figure out what this Scripture means; 'I'm after mercy, not religion.' I'm here to invite outsiders, not coddle insiders."
No Neutral Ground
Matthew 12:22-30 Next a poor demon-afflicted wretch, both blind and deaf, was set down before him.
Jesus healed him, gave him his sight and hearing. The people who saw it were impressed--"This has to be the Son of David!"
But the Pharisees, when they heard the report, were cynical. "Black magic," they said, "Some devil trick he's pulled from his sleeve."
Jesus confronted their slander, "A judge who gives opposite verdicts on the same person cancels himself out; a family that's in a constant squabble disintegrates;
If Satan banishes Satan, is there any Satan left?
If you're slinging devil mud at me, calling me a devil licking out devils, doesn't the same mud stick to your own exorcists?
"But if it's by God's power that I am sending the evil spirits packing, then God's kingdom is here for sure.
How in the world do you think it's possible in broad daylight to enter the house of an awake, able-bodied man and walk off with his possessions unless you tie him up first? Tie him up, though, and you can clean him out.
"This is war, and there is no neutral ground, If you're not on my side, you're the enemy; if your're not helping, you're making things worse.
Mark 2:3-5 They brought a paraplegic to him, carried by four men.
When they weren't able to get in because of the crowd, they removed part of the roof and lowered the paraplegic on his stretcher.
Impressed by their bold belief, Jesus said to the paraplegic, "Son, I forgive your sins."
Luke 5:18-20 Some men arrived carrying a paraplegic on a stretcher. They were looking for a way to get into the house and set him before Jesus.
When they couldn't find a way because of the crowd, they went up on the roof, removed some tiles, and let him down in the middle of everyone, right in front of Jesus.
Impressed by their bold belief, he said, "Friend, I forgive your sins."
Matthew 11:16-19 "How can I account for this generation?
The people have been like spoiled children whining to their parents, 'We wanted to skip rope, and you were always too tired; we wanted to talk, but you were always too busy,'
John came fasting and thee called him crazy.
I came feasting and they called me a slush, a friend of the riffraff. Opinion polls don't count for much, do they? The proof of the pudding is in the eating."
Hosea 6:6 I'm after love that lasts, not more religion. I want you to know GOD, not to go to more prayer meetings.
Matthew 12:7-8 If you had an idea what this Scripture meant--'I prefer a flexible heart to an inflexible ritual'--you wouldn't be nitpicking like this.
The Son of Man is no lackey to the Sabbath; he's in charge."
