Matthew records for us in this passage at least 4 pictures of people in deep anguish desperately reaching out for help. These are people from different backgrounds, different socio-economic conditions, struggling with different, terrible trials, yet they all have this in common – they are all met and delivered from their trials by our incredibly compassionate Saviour. The pictures point us from the physical realm to a deeper spiritual reality. Our spiritual symptoms may differ, but the underlying disease, the root of the problem is a heart corrupted by sin. And while the manifestation of sin and its soul-destroying ravages may differ in each of our lives, there is only one antidote to the vile venom of sin, our Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Son of David. As the apostle Peter cried out before the Sanhedrin, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved", we too, in our desperate need, must look to a gracious, compassionate Saviour for mercy in the midst of our soul's anguish."
