How do you Heal a Tax Collector?

Matthew 9 always struck me as rather odd.

Jesus heals a paralytic.

Miracle! Hallelujah!!

Jesus heals a hemorrhaging woman.

Miracle! Hallelujah!!

Jesus raises an apparently-dead young girl.

Miracle! Hallelujah!!

Jesus heals two blind men.

Miracle! Hallelujah!!

Jesus heals a mute man.

Miracle! Hallelujah!!

And in the middle of all this, Jesus has dinner with Matthew the tax collector.

Miracle? Hallelujah??

Yes. If you happen to be Matthew the tax collector.

Grace and Peace,
Raffi
