A Devotional Reflection on Matthew 9:9–13 | When Jesus came, he came as a doctor with the authority to heal. His touch brought immediate relief. And at the sound of his voice, fevers fled, storms were stilled, and demons begged for mercy. But Jesus didn’t simply come to show off his authority and great ability; he came because there was a great need. The hurting needed a medic. The sick needed a doctor. Sinners needed the Savior.
