Let All With Ears Hear

“A sower went out to sow.  And as he sowed, some seeds fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured them. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil, and immediately they sprang up, since they had no depth of soil, but when the sun rose they were scorched; and since they had no root they withered away.  Other seeds fell upon thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them.  Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. He who has ears, let him hear.”

– Jesus in Matthew 13:3-9

True Brethren of Jesus

“Who is My mother, and who are My brethren?” And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, “Here are My mother and My brethren! For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother, and sister, and mother.”

Fear Not for You have Value Beyond Measure

Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Trust in the Saving Power of Jesus

A ruler came in and knelt before Him, saying, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay your hand on her, and she will live.” When Jesus came to the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players, and the crowd making a tumult, He said, “Depart; for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at Him. But when the crowd had been put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose.

Healing As You Believe

As [Jesus] entered Capernaum, a centurion came forward to Him, beseeching Him and saying, “Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, in terrible distress.”
And He said to him, “I will come and heal him.”
But the centurion answered Him, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be healed.
Jesus said, “Go; be it done for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed at that very moment.

– Matthew 8:5-8, 13
