下雨天，你会？
当耶稣下山时，一位患大麻风的人来到祂面前，恳求祂说：“主啊，若你肯，必能叫我洁净了。”
耶稣伸手摸他，说：“我肯，你洁净了吧！”他的麻风立刻洁净了。大麻风象征罪的污秽，被人孤立、羞愧，甚至走向死亡。然而，这位患病的人认出耶稣有绝对的能力，他没有怀疑耶稣的医治权柄，只是谦卑地求祂的怜悯。这表明了一个关键真理：神的能力没有限制，唯一的问题在于祂是否愿意。
不要停留在 “或许神能” 或 “可能神会” 的思维中，而是要有坚定的信心，相信神“ 绝对能” 且 “愿意”。祂的时间、方式和结果虽不同，但祂的能力永远不变。。
百夫长是罗马的军官，掌管百名士兵。当他的仆人瘫痪、痛苦时，他没有亲自找医生，也没有要求耶稣去他家医治，而是仅凭一句话的权柄表达信心。他说：“只要你说一句话，我的仆人就必好了。” 他深信耶稣的权柄超越空间，不需要亲临即可施行医治。耶稣称赞他的信 心，并照他所信的成就。
信心并非局限于眼见，而是对神权柄的全然相信。不要因为无法看见或感受到神的作为而动 摇信心。
耶稣进入彼得的家，主动医治了彼得的岳母，随后又医治了许多被鬼附的人，释放了他们。圣经说：“这是要应验先知以赛亚的话，说：‘他代替我们的软弱，担当我们的疾病。’”（17节）耶稣显明祂是弥赛亚，用祂的权能触摸每一个需要的人。神的救恩不是我们配得，而是出于祂的恩典。我们需要凭信心领受祂主动赐予的祝福和能力。
跟随耶稣不仅是一个决定，更是需要付上的代价。有人说愿意跟随祂，但耶稣提醒他：“狐狸 有洞，飞鸟有窝，人子却没有枕头的地方。”（20节）耶稣呼召人将神放在生命的首位，而非任何世俗的优先事项。跟随神不仅仅是口头上的承诺，而是需要舍己、专注并持续行动的生命态度。
其实耶稣曾吩咐他们 ”渡到那边去” (18节)的话，但是因为突然而来的暴风，门徒们只顾眼前的风浪，忘却了稍早时主曾吩咐他们的话。环境再大再难，我们也不要忘记神曾经说过的 话。
主耶稣容许污鬼进入猪群，结果猪群投海而死。城里人却因财产损失拒绝耶稣。不要因眼前的得失而忽视神的作为，因祂的计划远超过我们的理解。
无论是认识神的大能、不凭眼见的信心，还是信心到底的跟随，都在告诉我们一个核心真理：信心决定我们能从神那里得着多少恩典。让我们时刻抓住神的应许，凭着信心活出祂所预备的丰盛人生！！
Matthew Chapter 8
According to your faith, it will be done for you

What do you do on a rainy day?
As Jesus came down from the mountain, a leper came to Him and begged Him, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."
Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him and said, "I am willing. Be cleansed!" Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Leprosy symbolizes the filth of sin, which leads to isolation, shame, and even death. However, the sick man recognized Jesus' absolute power. He did not doubt Jesus' authority to heal, but humbly asked for His mercy. This illustrates a key truth: There are no limits to God’s power, the only question is whether He wills it.
Don’t stay in the mindset of “maybe God can” or “maybe God will” but have firm faith and believe that God “absolutely can” and “will”. His timing, methods, and results may vary, but His power never changes.
A centurion was a Roman officer in charge of a hundred soldiers. When his servant was paralyzed and in pain, he did not find a doctor himself, nor did he ask Jesus to go to his home to heal him. Instead, he expressed his faith with the authority of just one word. He said, "Just say the word, and my servant will be healed." He firmly believed that Jesus' authority transcended space and could heal without being physically present. Jesus praised his faith and did what he believed.
Faith is not limited to sight, but a complete belief in God’s authority. Don’t be shaken by your inability to see or feel what God is doing.
(2) Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law and many sick people （V14-17）
Jesus entered Peter's house and took the initiative to heal Peter's mother-in-law. He later healed and released many demon-possessed people. The Bible says: “This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, saying, ‘He took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.’” (verse 17) Jesus reveals that He is the Messiah, touching every need with His power people. God’s salvation is not something we deserve but comes by His grace. We need to receive His active blessings and power by faith.
Following Jesus is not just a decision, it is a price to pay. Some people said they were willing to follow Him, but Jesus reminded them: “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” (verse 20) Jesus calls people to put God first in their lives, not anything worldly. Priorities. Following God is not just a verbal commitment, but a life attitude that requires self-denial, concentration, and continuous action.
In fact, Jesus had commanded them to “depart to the other side” (verse 18), but because of the sudden storm, the disciples only focused on the storm in front of them and forgot what the Lord had commanded them earlier. No matter how great or difficult the environment is, we must not forget what God once said.?
The Lord Jesus allowed the unclean spirits to enter the pigs, and the pigs threw themselves into the sea and died. But the people in the city rejected Jesus because of the damage to their property. Don’t ignore God’s actions because of immediate gains and losses, because His plan is far beyond our understanding.
Whether it is knowing the power of God, having faith without seeing it, or following with faith to the end, they all tell us a core truth: faith determines how much grace we can receive from God. Let us always hold on to God’s promises and live out the abundant life He has prepared by faith!
