Gospel of Matthew - Matthew 8:18-34 - "Follow Me"

As we finish up chapter 8 of Matthew's gospel, we continue to see Jesus' power over all things. Throughout this chapter, snapshot after snapshot we see Jesus meeting people who are going through various storms in their lives. They are desperate. They are weary. They can find no peace or comfort or help - until they hear of this man who is like no other, and they seek Him out. “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 Jesus speaks like no other. They marvel at His teachings and are blown away by the power of His word. Who is this man who can heal the sick, cast our demons, restore the mind, calm the storm? What does it mean to follow Jesus?
