And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw
his wife’s mother laid, and sick of a fever.
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she
arose, and ministered unto them.
When the even was come, they brought unto him many
that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the
spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED which was spoken
by Esaias the prophet, saying, HIMSELF TOOK OUR
INFIRMITIES, and bare our sicknesses.
Matthew 8:14-17

1. Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law of fever. Fever
is the commonest disease that afflicts all men.
Fever is a symptom of infections, inflammations
and many other dangerous diseases. Jesus Christ
is the master of all fevers.
And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, he saw
his wife’s mother laid, and SICK OF A FEVER. And he
touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and
ministered unto them.
Matthew 8:14-15

2. Everyone that is connected to you is important to
Jesus. That is why Jesus healed Peter’s mother-inlaw.                                                                                                        Peter’s mother-in-law was connected to Peter
and therefore Jesus was interested in her.
And when Jesus was come into Peter’s house, HE SAW
HIS WIFE’S MOTHER laid, and sick of a fever.
Matthew 8:14

3. After healing Peter’s mother-in-law, Jesus then healed
the masses. The fact that Jesus healed the masses
does not mean that He cannot heal an individual and
the fact that He healed an individual does not mean
that He was not interested in the masses.
When the even was come, they BROUGHT UNTO HIM
MANY that were possessed with devils: and he cast out
the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
Matthew 8:16

4. These great things that Jesus did were in fulfillment of
the great prophecies of Isaiah that “himself took our
infirmities” and bore our diseases.
THAT IT MIGHT BE FULFILLED which was spoken
by Esaias the prophet, saying, HIMSELF TOOK OUR
INFIRMITIES, and bare our sicknesses.
Matthew 8:17

5. The miracle healing of Peter’s mother-in-law
demonstrates the love of God, the compassion of Jesus
Christ, the greatness of Jesus Christ and the power of
the Holy Spirit.
… For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he
might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:8
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

6. Let the goodness of God and His power lead you to
salvation. As you see the greatness of Jesus Christ
through his healings and miracles, you must open
your heart to His message of salvation so that you will
be saved from going to hell.
Let the goodness of God lead you to repentance and
salvation. The message of Jesus is clear: repent or you
will likewise perish!
Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and
forbearance and longsuffering; NOT KNOWING THAT
THE GOODNESS OF GOD LEADETH THEE TO
REPENTANCE?
Romans 2:4
