Matthew 8

Now we move into the action. The Sermon is done and Jesus meets the people. He starts healing the afflicted. He calms the storm. He's got some power to go with his authority.

Here we see the first example of the golden rule in action. Peter's mother is healed and immediately begins to wait on Jesus. She is exhibiting a servant's heart and also probably thanking Him for healing.

Faith is a big part of this chapter. (Duh, it's a big part of Christianity.) The leprous man, the centurion, Peter's mother all had it. The man who needed to bury his father and the disciples in the boat didn't have it. Do I?
