TOPIC: JESUS OUR HEALER
TEXT: Matthew 4:23-25(NKJV)
- 4:23. And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
- 4:24. Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.
- 4:25. Great multitudes followed Him — from Galilee, and [from] Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
STUDY:
The ministry of Jesus Christ is characterised by preaching and teaching the God’s plans, etc. Today’s text shows us how He healed every disease and that Jesus cannot heal. He is our healer and this ministry of his has not changed-He is the same yesterday, today and forever! He committed this ministry to his disciples, and to us today as believers.
The Great Commission in Mark 16:15-18 empowers his followers and guarantees them signs that would accompany their evangelism. One of such is “they will lay their hands on the sick and they will recover.”These days, we have seen serious cases like cancer, blindness and infertility being healed in the name of Jesus. We need to exercise faith in his name and lay hands on the sick-He is the one who will do the healing.
We, like the Syrians in today’s text, should bring our sick people to him for healing. Are you sick? Lay hands on yourself and rebuke that sickness by faith with the promise of healing in his word (Isa. 53: 4-5;Jer.30: 17a). Remember that healing is the children’s bread and every genuine Christian is God’s child.
PRAYER:
Lord Jesus, please heal me of every physical and spiritual disease in Jesus’ name, Amen!
