“Take Heart, Your Faith has Healed You”

Matthew 9:18-26

Key verse: 9:22

Jesus turned and saw her.  “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.”

Read verses 18-19.  Who came to Jesus?  What did he do?  What did he say?  What kind of faith did this man have (John 11:25; Romans 4:17)?  What did Jesus do?  What does this show about Jesus?

Read verses 20-21.  Who came to Jesus this time?  What problem did this woman have?  How much did she suffer (Isaiah 1:6)?  But, did she do?  How was her faith similar to the faith of the ruler?    

Read verse 22.  What did Jesus say to the woman?  What happened to the woman then?  

Read verses 23-26.  What was it like at the ruler’s house?  What did Jesus say about the dead girl?  What did he do for her?  What does this passage teach us about the power of faith?
