TOPIC: JESUS, OUR GREAT PHYSICIAN
TEXT: Matthew 8:14-17(NKJV)
- 8:14. Now when Jesus had come into Peter’s house, He saw his wife’s mother lying sick with a fever.
- 8:15. So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them.
- 8:16. When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick,
- 8:17. that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore [our] sicknesses.”
STUDY:
Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, went to Peter’s house and saw his mother-in-law that was sick with fever and He healed her. She then responded positively by serving him. However, other sick people came and got healed to fulfil the biblicalpromise in Isaiah 53:4, which says that surely He took away our infirmities and diseases and carried our pains and sorrows.
Jesus is still in the business of healing the sick and delivering all that are oppressed by the devil. It is unfortunate that many who receive such and other blessings from God do not reciprocate positively by committing their lives to the service of God. Jesus expects all to show appreciation for his great works among men, by serving him, just as the mother-in-law of Peter.
Is sickness or any other infirmity tormenting your life, home or loved ones? Remember that the complete price of healing and restoration has been paid on the cross of Calvary.
Be a blessing to those held captive by sickness and demonic oppressions. Bring them to Jesus Christ by faith to reverse their situations. As his ambassador on earth, insist on this liberty in Christ and drive out evil spirits with Jesus’ promises on healing. His word has been tried, tested and trusted-He is unchanging!
PRAYER:
Father; I stand on your promise in Isaiah 53:4 and claim perfect healing and deliverance for me and my loved ones in Jesus name, Amen!
