Episode notes
Jesus as the True Son of David
- The title 'Son of David' connects Jesus' healing ministry to his messianic identity as the true king from David's line.
- Healing acts in Matthew link Jesus to Solomon's legendary healing and exorcism gifts, deepening this royal expectation.
Faith Shapes Healing's Power
- Jesus emphasizes that healing occurs "according to your faith," highlighting the recipient's disposition.
- The efficacy of sacraments similarly depends not only on God's grace but on the believer's openness to receive it.
Rejecting God's Work as Demonic
- Pharisees attribute Jesus' exorcisms to demonic power, rejecting God's work despite clear evidence.
- This reflects a tragic spiritual blindness that opens discussion on blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
