“Jesus the Messiah”: Weekly Leader Training—Unit 21, Session 1: Jesus Reveals His Power

May 5, 2020 | Aaron Armstrong

The miracle stories in the Bible are fascinating as they reveal the power of God to override the natural order of things for His glory. Most often these miracles also work for the benefit and blessing of God’s people. On this night in Capernaum, the Lord Jesus healed numerous people, all those who were sick and demon-possessed in the town. But He began with a more personal encounter as He healed Peter’s mother-in-law; Jesus healed her of a fever and raised her up from her bed.

Word then spread of Jesus’ exorcisms and healings. When God does the miraculous, it draws attention. If we aren’t careful, we may pull that attention toward ourselves and away from God, seeking our own glory instead of His. To this temptation, we should learn from the mother-in-law. Miraculous healing, whether physical or spiritual—such as salvation from sin—is not cause for sitting back to relish in the attention but to serve our Savior and direct attention to Him.
