Jesus in His power, healing Matthew 17:14-21: Following that heavenly transformation there is an earthly problem for Jesus to deal with. An epileptic, demon possessed boy had been brought to Jesus' disciples that had been left behind but they were unable to help. The man pleaded, "Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water." (Matthew 17:15)

Jesus said "O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me." (Matthew 17:17) This account demonstrates both a Fathers' faith (Matthew 17:15) and the Saviors power. "And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour." (Matthew 17:18) Through faith in Jesus and obedience to His will Christians are able to make it through every difficulty in life.
