Summary

(Matthew 12:22) Today we see Jesus heal and restore a wild man possessed by a devil, unable to speak, unable to see.  The kind of man most people would avoid. The text reminds us that somebody brought this man to Jesus. No matter how difficult or how desperate, Christ truly is enough. Let’s bring everybody we can to Jesus!

0:57.7

but then we look at certain people and certain circumstances, and we say, well, that's a hard case.

1:01.2

That's probably too far gone.

1:03.3

Too much water under the bridge.

1:41.6

what an amazing verse.

1:45.2

Listen to the verse again. One verse, Matthew 12, verse 22.
