Matthew has joined Peter, Andrew, James, John, (and probably Philip and Nathanael), along with the group of other disciples following Jesus on his itinerant travels. Let’s walk with them through the grainfields—it’s time to eat!
Today, polls and surveys are used to gauge public opinion and define necessary action. Here’s a simple survey question: “Which is more important, physical health or mental health?” Obviously, both are important, and they affect each other. How would you answer the question? Jesus had a pretty good answer.
The Sun of RighteousnessO soul in this life with temptations you’re dealing,
The devil is killing, destroying, and stealing.
Let not your heart faint for in Christ we are free,
He’s given us life, the salvation we need.
Rejoice, O rejoice, blessed Lord brings us peace,
Our cares and misfortunes must fade fast and cease.
For Christ is the light of a bright breaking day,
The sun that is righteous with healing warm ray.
Perhaps with dark words in your mind you are dealing,
You can’t shake the dread and despair you are feeling.
Remember that God sent His Son for your health,
Embrace and enjoy all his saving true wealth.
Rejoice, O rejoice, blessed Lord brings us peace,
Our cares and misfortunes must fade fast and cease.
For Christ is the light of a bright breaking day,
The sun that is righteous with healing warm ray.
God’s truth in the scriptures are for us revealing,
That Christ our Passover brings goodness and healing.
Remember his body was broken for you,
And sinless, his blood brings forgiveness anew.
Rejoice, O rejoice, blessed Lord brings us peace,
Our cares and misfortunes must fade fast and cease.
For Christ is the light of a bright breaking day,
The sun that is righteous with healing warm ray.
Do negative thoughts to your mind keep appealing,
Your fate turning dark and your doom ever sealing?
Don’t listen to Satan, the father of lies.
Christ gives you victory, open your eyes!
Rejoice, O rejoice, blessed Lord brings us peace,
Our cares and misfortunes must fade fast and cease.
For Christ is the light of a bright breaking day,
The sun that is righteous with healing warm ray.
O lift your eyes high beyond earth’s azure ceiling,
And offer up worship as now you are kneeling.
To God our dear Father Who gave us His Son.
Fret not, but rejoice, in Christ all has been done.
Rejoice, O rejoice, blessed Lord brings us peace,
Our cares and misfortunes must fade fast and cease.
For Christ is the light of a bright breaking day,
The sun that is righteous with healing warm ray.
“But unto you that fear [respect] my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings [rays]….”
–Malachi 4:2
Jesus Christ fulfilled every aspect of Old Testament Law to be a complete savior. In the early church, some Christians from a Judean background did not fully understand this.

After the healing miracle of the paralytic, Jesus travels out of the city to the sea side. Of course, the multitude follows him and he continues to teach them. In word and in deed, Jesus always shows the will of the Father.
After choosing twelve apostles, Jesus taught his disciples what they should do.
Luke 6:17:
And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases.
