Matthew Part 3: Faith vs Fear
Matthew 17v14-27
As Jesus’ ministry continues we get three short accounts which seem unrelated. The disciples fail to cast out a demon, they grieve over the impending cross, and Jesus instructs Peter to pay their taxes from the mouth of a fish. While clearly highlighting the beauty and mystery of Jesus, these stories also have something to teach us about faith, fear, and the choices which color all of life’s events.
