It is interesting to note that the man with leprosy and the centurion sought Jesus out for healing. (The centurion came for help for his servant.) They had faith that they would be healed, and they were. The following question comes to mind. Do we have faith to come to Jesus? The easy answer is yes, but when we dig deep, do we really believe God is listening? Good questions to ponder.
If we find ourselves answering yes, we naturally want to follow Christ. In this chapter we learn there is a cost to follow Him. Are we willing to follow Him when we consider the cost? I believe Jesus' example of calming the storm and driving out demons are indicators of how He will calm the storms in our lives, and take away life's "demon-like" burdens.
In a few words:
The rewards of following Christ, outweigh the cost.
