Re:Verse passage – Matthew 9:18-19; 23-26 (day six)
Matthew 8:24, “And they laughed at him.”
I suppose they didn’t know any better at the time, but they were laughing at the Son of Man who had calmed the storm. Regardless, this miracle, in particular, points to the coming Kingdom of God, reminding us that its coming will not be pleasant for all.
Every miracle is a call to repentance and surrender, but for those who delay or refuse will only face judgment when Jesus comes into His Kingdom.
With the resurrection of this little girl, I imagine many of Jesus’ scoffers were silenced. Many of them likely believed, but for some their laughter was a sign of judgment to come.
