Our series through the teachings of Jesus brought us to a passage in Matthew 7:28 which revealed an amazement by the “hearers.” This passage is the last of four passages where this word occurs following an interaction that Jesus had with a group of people.

In this passage a desperate father petitions Jesus to free his son from the terror of a demon. He has asked for help from the disciples but they were unable to help the boy. Jesus is this father’s final hope.
