The way that this spoke to me, convicted me, and touched my heart! Thank you sooo much for these Bible studies. I went back to reading Matthew with your Bible studies and I have been learning so much. May God continue your bless you and use you. ❤
I love how there was so much to take from this chapter like to have a humble heart To know how to correctly respond to gods touch by serving him to know god got your back even when your surroundings seem the opposite to knowing the word of god is your weapon to any lies that tell you otherwise in regards to his promise to knowing theres no evil that can come against you because there’s nothing stronger then god To follow him now not later when it’s convenient and that no matter how big or small your struggle is god got you ❤
I love the Bible reading. They seem to come at the right time. I sooo appreciate you breaking it down so it's understandable. Sometimes I read, read & I'm like what? I know I get more out of the chapter when I listen to your reading & breakdown of the chapter. 🙏♥️
That makes me so so so so so so happy to hear you have no idea! I'm so grateful God has shifted my platform into a more purposeful and intentional platform where I can share my faith and share God's word and help others understand as well 🙌
I love your Bible studies I grew up in a Christian household but never read the Bible myself. So thank you for helping me on this new Christian journey.
litrally this is just what i need im afraid of lots of sickness it keeps me from enjoying life but when i heard the why are u full of such little faith and then i realized everything will be okay always trust in god put all ur faith in him so thank you i really needed that
Hey Jackie!! Your Bible studies are awesome and I cannot explain how happy I am that you allowed Jesus to be the center of your life. It's so refreshing to see RUclipsrs use their platforms to spread the Word of God! God bless you continuously!!
It is so healing to have something to remind you the love that Jesus christ has for us and the things he does because of his unconditional love! I am really excite to follow through this series with you and everyone ❤
I found this for the last verse! The better question is: “Why when Jesus offers us freedom from our bondage, forgiveness from our sins, and a future of eternal hope - why would we turn him down?” For many people the answer is simple. Jesus is going to disrupt and disorder my life (which is really already messed up). He is going to change me. He may change my direction. He will change my heart. And for some, the pain of life change and the humility necessary to let someone else be Lord of your life is scarier than the pain of bondage and the pride of staying in control. So rather than celebrate what Jesus did and ask Him to do more, they beg Him to leave.
Understanding what I'm reading, when it comes to the bible, has always been a struggle and has always kept me from reading it. This video is the 1st one I've watch in my attempt to understand. I'll definitely be watching more. Thanks for helping me to understand the gospel 🙏
I love your bible studies!! They allow me to see God's word from a new perspective. What I think about the people who wanted Jesus to leave is. They probably had their own livestock and lived off of it, and were fearful their animals would perish also.
Thank you so much for this video, I am currently going through a very hard moment in my life and this video has definitely shown me that JESUS HEALS as long as we have faith🙏🏼💙 Thank you again, I hope you’ll be making more bible study videos. I love how you actually explain things through because it’s not easy to read the Bible and fully understand the word of GOD. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
I think they wanted to remain the same in their sins .I think it happens to most of us because we will be afraid to leave the things that please the flesh and go to the things that please GOD. Remember Jesus said "No one can serve two masters , the gate to THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN is narrow and only A FEW WILL FIND IT.
Hi.. I am new at learning the Bible and I watch your channel and I feel like God sent you to me to help me understand. Everytime I have a question in my mind your Bible studies seem to answer me and it makes me smile and I thank God for the message sent to me. So about the reason they wanted Jesus to go, maybe it could be that they wanted to stay the same like you said so they didn't want to see proof or have this knowledge because they figure if they can say at the end oh I didn't know that will be ok.. so I'm trying to say like a sating on earth is ignorance to the laws no excuse type of situation... People may think if they stay blind they will be dismissed from judgement. I hope I said all that well enough to understand
I was very encouraged by the study. I generally tend to stay away from even the mention of demons, I confess that I have fear in that area. After this study I feel more secure that Jesus has the power and has it under control and I don't have to fear them. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing I like hearing you read the scriptures I didn’t grow up in religion either I only turned to god last year I won’t turn back now as it has changed my life
Wow. I am so grateful that you have continued the series for book of Matthew. I am still learning how to navigate my own bible study routine and dissect the word. I am still learning about the layers of Jesus and being able to follow along with you means everything. Your enthusiasm and your patience that you have taken to dissect and put these videos together has been the best thing for me. Thank you. I wish you could do the whole entire bible and that I could follow along with you. One day I hope to be able to stand on my own and do this just like you. Thank you again. 🙏🏽
I just wanted to say I've been watching these everyday as I read through Matthew and these help me so much!!! ❤❤ I am new to this and you explain everything so perfectly!! Thank you!
Watching this Video really helped my understanding of this scripture and it made so much sense! I feel like i know so much more about Jesus now. Thank you so much for sharing this.💖🙌🏽
I’m new with becoming familiar with my bible and i love your bible studies! I decided to start with the book of Matthew and as i go chapter by chapter your videos help me 100%❤️❤️
literally so glad that I came across your channel, as I have started to do my quiet times again and have decided to start with the gospels which is why I am starting studying Matthew. this has been a great help and has given me a greater deeper understanding of this chapter. thank you and keep it up xxxxx
I love your enthusiasm and love for Jesus. I don't like the NIV bible I use the NKJV but that is because when I first was saved by God, I bought the NIV and found out that it leaves out a lot of the important things about fasting and prayer. Don't be discouraged i love your bible studies keep following God!!
I am moving along just now in your Matthew study and I so enjoy it. I love your insight and the notes you provide. You are such a blessing and I can’t wait to continue in this study. Thank you for your diligence. Bless you!!
Also in verse 4 when Jesus told to not tell anyone is so because when people tell about them, only the little faithers would come for the miracles of Jesus and that wouldn't have no good. Because the believers already believed in God and followed Jesus physically or mentally
I feel that those who were tending to the pigs, and the town folk, wanted Jesus to leave because they were shook! They were scared! They did not comprehend who Jesus was/is.
For the last verse in chapter 8 (verse 34), I think they more care for how they are living right now. If Jesus casting out demons has a result of them losing their things(material possessions) then they would prefer to continue living in their sinful ways than lose what they have.
I think the demons wanted to be cast into the swine because they did not want to be tormented when the time comes. Which is why the asked whether he came to do so before the appointed time. They were afraid of him, the knew what he was capable of.
I think maybe the status quo of revenue with madness, chaos and dread was better then sober minded calm. It was better to lose Jesus then to lose revenue and profit , but Jesus had a bigger plan because even though he wasn't wanted there the man he saved was a gentile and in mark this man wanted to go with Jesus but Jesus needed him to stay and and basically become the gentile preacher to the gentiles so he would prepare them for Jesus' return , and because of this Jesus would be welcomed back . This is what I gathered from Mark chapter 5 where it is in more depth then Matthew chapter 8 . ❤ not 100% sure but it's a thought and I hope maybe this would help
Matthew 8:33-34 my comment: I think they begged Jesus to leave because they cared more about the pigs than they did people or Jesus’ power. Basically they cared more for the created than the Creator. I kept wondering why did the demons want to be driven into the pigs?? But it’s because they wanted to stir up anger and confusion knowing that the people loved their pigs somehow- maybe it brought in income. The demons wanted the city or those who cared for the creation to blame Jesus. What the devil cannot distract, he destroys. For example, when bad things happen in this world, we blame God.
Or was it as simple as they were possibly angry about the loss of the pigs... that the pigs were valuable to them and maybe they felt he'd allowed them to be destroyed even though they didn't understand what had truly happened? Just a thought. :)
That's such a great thought too! A few in the live chat had mentioned that with the cost of following Jesus comes sacrifice (hence the dead burying the dead verse) but this can totally apply to this part of the chapter as well. Maybe they didn't want to make that kind of a sacrifice for Jesus so they turned him away which is what so many people do today too.
They begged Him to depart from their region: We would think that the people of the region would be happy that these two demon-possessed men had been delivered. Perhaps they were more interested in their pigs than in people. Certainly, the delivering power of Jesus did not make all men feel comfortable.This may explain another reason why the demons wanted to enter the swine. The idea is that the demons wanted to stir up hatred and rejection of Jesus, so they drove the swine to destruction hoping it would be blamed on Jesus, and He would then be unwelcome there.
the reason they wanted Jesus to leave was because they were Jews who had gotten mixed with the Gentiles and their ways, so they became greedy with their gains, and their gains at that time or what was helping them make money were those pigs and when Jesus liberated those demons they didnt see it as a good deed. they just thought "he made all our gains go to waste and he will do the same to everything if he comes here and does the same thing he did over there" so basically they were more worried about losing money than losing Jesus' presence. God Bless you dear. Im new to your channel, studying the book of Matthew with you.
They wanted Him to leave bc the pigs in that time represented money and wealth and Jesus sent the demons into them and they died so they would rather keep their money than be happy for those men to be healed and follow Jesus
Hey, if you read Luke 8:26-37 it will tell you why the town people wanted Jesus to leave. They were afraid of him. Great Bible study 📖 thank you
The way that this spoke to me, convicted me, and touched my heart! Thank you sooo much for these Bible studies. I went back to reading Matthew with your Bible studies and I have been learning so much. May God continue your bless you and use you. ❤
Love this! I’ve always wanted to have a bible study with people my age, and this is perfect.
I am using my mom's phone right now and I'm like 8 years old and I love watching your videos I us
I use your videos for school I have something called Bible trevia and today my mom gave me this video and it was so good
I love how there was so much to take from this chapter
like to have a humble heart
To know how to correctly respond to gods touch by serving him
to know god got your back even when your surroundings seem the opposite
to knowing the word of god is your weapon to any lies that tell you otherwise in regards to his promise
to knowing theres no evil that can come against you because there’s nothing stronger then god
To follow him now not later when it’s convenient
and that no matter how big or small your struggle is god got you ❤

Awesome job sister
Thank you Jackie for this awesome bible study.
I have learnt alot.
much love from Uganda
I love your enthusiasm and love for Jesus. I don't like the NIV bible I use the NKJV but that is because when I first was saved by God, I bought the NIV and found out that it leaves out a lot of the important things about fasting and prayer. Don't be discouraged i love your bible studies keep following God!!
I really love it here. You’ve helped me get through all of Matthew because I’ve had to go back through it multiple times. I’m excited about God❤️❤️❤️
I love your Bible studies, never stop these!!!
Love your videos ❤️❤️ I’m reading the book of Matthew with my 9 year old little sister and after ever chapter we watch and study with you.
I appreciate your work Jack. Awesome.
I am moving along just now in your Matthew study and I so enjoy it. I love your insight and the notes you provide. You are such a blessing and I can’t wait to continue in this study. Thank you for your diligence. Bless you!!
I love these bible studies!! Please keep continue to do Matthew and the other gospels🌺
This is so helpful! You help me realize more in depth. Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you Jackie!!! I love bible studying with you!
Also in verse 4 when Jesus told to not tell anyone is so because when people tell about them, only the little faithers would come for the miracles of Jesus and that wouldn't have no good. Because the believers already believed in God and followed Jesus physically or mentally
Yesss!! Thank you so much for continuing!!! Your vids are so awesome and so helpful!!!
amen !! 💕 thank you for sharing your bible studies with us 🥺 i really love how clear you're explaining things
Thank you for sharing!
You do a great job explaining this. Thank you!!
Thank you so much 💓
Thank you for watching! ❤️
Yes Jesus speaks through parables dead doesn’t really mean dead sometimes. Dead in faith or soul not body dead. That’s for your notes!
Great study! Thank you. Blessings..
The timing is crazy!! I was just checking to see if you had this video. So excited thank you!
Ahh God works in such great mysterious ways! His timing is always perfect! ❤️❤️❤️
I feel that those who were tending to the pigs, and the town folk, wanted Jesus to leave because they were shook! They were scared! They did not comprehend who Jesus was/is.
the foxes and dens verse is saying how he is homeless you are correct about the dead father verse that is what is means
For the last verse in chapter 8 (verse 34), I think they more care for how they are living right now. If Jesus casting out demons has a result of them losing their things(material possessions) then they would prefer to continue living in their sinful ways than lose what they have.
AMEN!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yay I’m so pumped !!!
Ahhh me too!! So happy you could join! ✨
❤❤❤
I think the demons wanted to be cast into the swine because they did not want to be tormented when the time comes. Which is why the asked whether he came to do so before the appointed time. They were afraid of him, the knew what he was capable of.
Great work dear
Could verse 20 also mean that that following Jesus isn't going to always mean healing and miracles it also means that you will be homeless?
You should make Kahoot! a questions
I think maybe the status quo of revenue with madness, chaos and dread was better then sober minded calm. It was better to lose Jesus then to lose revenue and profit , but Jesus had a bigger plan because even though he wasn't wanted there the man he saved was a gentile and in mark this man wanted to go with Jesus but Jesus needed him to stay and and basically become the gentile preacher to the gentiles so he would prepare them for Jesus' return , and because of this Jesus would be welcomed back .

For example, when bad things happen in this world, we blame God.
I think they were also afraid of his power. Their gods never demonstrated supernatural power so they weren’t used to Jesus’ powers.
Another website you can use for bible study is “929 chapters.”
Ooo thank you for sharing this! I'll definitely look into it.
👍🙏
They apparently had asked Christ to leave the region because the pigs are their livelihood that was destroyed and others were afraid to lose theirs.

❤️❤️❤️

I once heard they asked Jesus to leave because all of there swine (domestic) were of value to those people.
They wanted Him to leave bc the pigs in that time represented money and wealth and Jesus sent the demons into them and they died so they would rather keep their money than be happy for those men to be healed and follow Jesus
