Genesis 18-19 Matthew 9-

Genesis 18-19
vs 14. "Is anything too hard for the Lord?"

Sarah questioned the Lord by saying she was old and wouldn't be able to have a son. But with the Lord, anything is possible!!! Sarah learned this when Isaac was born and Sarah was

We see in verse 15 that she lied to her husband about laughing about what the Lord had said. God hears all, sees all and knows all :)

The two men who were with the Lord, who are we to think that they are??? We see they had power to strike men blind!!!

The story of Lot, had he chosen a better place to call home, his life would have been very different. His wife disobeyed the words of the two men and became a pillar of salt. Lot and his two daughters ended up living in a cave! (vs 30)

The main sin listed here regarding Sodom and Gomorrah was homosexuality. The men of the town wanted to have sex with the two men whom God had sent!

I'm not positive but, I believe that by this time, it was a sin for daughters to sleep with their husbands and become pregnant by them! One of the daughters had a son named Moab, who the Moabites descended from. Ruth (who's in the line of Jesus) was a Moabite woman :)

Matthew 9-
Vs 4 Even though he'd taken on human form, Jesus knew the thoughts of the people!!!

Vs 13 Jesus said "I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. This brings to mind Romans 3:10, "there is none righteous, no not one"!

The word fast appears again in this chapter. Jesus tells them that a time of fasting will come, when they're mourning the bridegroom being taken away. I need to do a study on the word fast!

This chapter shows at least 3 examples of people who had great faith and hope in the power of Christ! The woman who'd been bleeding, the man who's daughter had died, and the man who was paralyzed lying on the mat!

Vs 29 "According to your faith it will be done to you" and just like that, people were healed by Jesus words! Amazing!!!!

Vs 37 "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few". It's our job as Disciples to tell as many people about Jesus return, the sin they are living in and God's redemptive power!!!
