When God Came Down the Mountain, The Answer to Brokenness (Cosmic Mountain Part III)

#CosmicMountain #JesusSaves #HealingBrokenness

Matthew 8:1-3 is one of my favorite passages in the entire Bible.

In part III of our cosmic mountain study we will analyze the depths of this amazing passage. The richness of what’s being communicated can’t be understood without an understanding of the cosmic mountain and why Matthew emphasizes Jesus going up the mountain and Jesus coming down the mountain. We tend to overlook this aspect of the narrative as we read. But these are theologically rich details and statements Matthew is making. It is intentional in order to illustrate a much deeper truth. The truth that when Jesus comes down the mountain it is God stepping off the cosmic mountain. And when Jesus reaches the bottom of the mountain he finds a leper. This leper represents humanity. Jesus’ interaction with this leper shows us how God desires to interact with each of us. Matthew is communicating to us literal truth, symbolic truth, and spiritual truth all at the same time. And this truth can transform the lives of whoever embraces it. It is the answer to brokenness.
