Read Luke 4:38 – 41

JESUS HEALS PETER’S MOTHER-IN-LAW
Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law so completely that not only did the fever leave but her strength was restored, and immediately she got up and took care of other’s needs. What a beautiful attitude of service she showed. God gives us health so that we may serve others.
The people came to Jesus when the sun was setting because this was the Sabbath, their day of rest. Sabbath lasted from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. The people didn’t want to break the law that prohibited travel on the Sabbath, so they waited for the Sabbath hours to be over before coming to Jesus. Then they came with all kinds of diseases, and Jesus healed each one.
Why didn’t Jesus want the demons to reveal who He was? 1) Jesus commanded them to remain silent to show his authority over them. 2) Jesus wanted His listeners to believe He was the Messiah because of His words, not because of the demon’s words. 3) Jesus was going to reveal His identity according to God’s plan and time table, and He would not be pushed by Satan’s evil plans. Jesus was going to show Himself to be the suffering servant before He became the Great King. To reveal His identity as king to soon would stir up the crowds with the wrong expectations of what He had come to do.
