Jesus Heals

Feb. 02, 2015 Monday Message:

“People with every kind of sickness or disease were brought to Jesus. Some had a lot of demons in them, others were thought to be crazy, and still others could not walk. But Jesus healed them all.” Matt. 4:24

Doctors and pharmacists dispense thousands of concoctions, each designed to solve a particular medical problem. Sometimes the biggest question is determining which solution solves which problem.

They would be amazed by Jesus, who seems to be a one-size-fits-all solution for whatever ails you. No problem is too big, no problem is too small. Whatever the problem, Jesus healed them all.

Our Bible verse goes on to say that news about Jesus spread all over Syria, so much so that Jesus’ healing people became expected. I have always found it interesting that when Jesus first healed, the writers gave us a lot of detail. But when the healing became commonplace, they simply wrote that he healed those who needed healing.

Jesus is still in the healing business today. He dispenses love and grace to a world desperately in need of it. And from time to time we hear of miracles, Jesus healing someone who needed healing.
