As we continue our series through the Gospel of Matthew, this week's message is "Mighty to Save" from Matthew 8:1-17. When Jesus finished the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew reports, "the crowds were astonished at his teaching, because he was teaching the like one who had authority" (Matt. 7:28-29). When Jesus came down from the mountain he astonished them further by His mighty miracles. His authority was revealed not only in His words but also in His works. His word and works reveal that He is the Son of God who is mighty to save those who trust in Him.
