JESUS TOOK UP OUR INFIRMITIES
Matthew 8:1-17
Key Verse: 8:17
What had Jesus been doing and why did crowds follow him? (1; 7:28-29) Who came to him with what request (2)? What did this man believe? What was he not sure of and why?
How did Jesus respond to this man (3)? What do Jesus’ touch and his words “I am willing; be clean!” teach us about Jesus and why he came? What did Jesus tell the man to do and why (4; Lev 14:11)?
What kind of person came to Jesus at Capernaum and with what problem (5-6)? What did Jesus offer to do, and why did the centurion refuse (7-8)? What was his attitude toward Jesus’ word and why (9)?
What amazed Jesus and why (10)? What prophetic vision did Jesus share and what does this show about the scope and nature of his kingdom (11-12)? How did Jesus bless the centurion’s faith (13)?
What else did Jesus do in Capernaum (14-16)? Compare and contrast the individuals Jesus helped in this lesson. How does this fulfill prophecy (17; Isa 53:4)? What does this mean to us today (1Pe 2:24)?
