Healing is a curious concept with many opinions on the what, how, and why. A survey of known history makes it quite clear that no one healed like Jesus did. Even within all of the other religions of antiquity there is no one like Him, and some religious healer’s miracles were pretty lame.
Jesus, however, did nothing in a corner. He was transparent and prolific. And those who witnessed what He did were not all His fans. In fact, the most zealous religionists of history do not measure up to the scribes and pharisees who were capable and willing to go to great lengths to discredit or stop Jesus. Just as there are today.
You will need to investigate for yourself whether or not Jesus was an authentic healer – a reverser of maladies and curses. Did the thirty plus recorded miracles actually happen or are they merely a concocted series of stories? And this was just the tip of the spear. “But he went out and began to proclaim it freely and to spread the news around, to such an extent that Jesus could no longer publicly enter a city, but stayed out in unpopulated areas; and they were coming to Him from everywhere.” (Mark 1:45) Jesus was an explosion the likes of which the world had never seen!
Next we must pursue the thread from the God Story where Jesus still heals men, women, and children from every decade, century, and people group. Is He this influential? Does His power extend to the souls and bodies of any and all of mankind? Was His purpose in coming to earth merely to heal bodies – or to save and heal souls? We think this is the greatest question of all time.
Once you have decided that Jesus really was and is a healer of souls it is time to personally experience Him deeply.
√ If you feel you are stuck – He can help.
√ If you feel you are worthless – He can restore your value and your identity.
√ If you are pressed down and smothered – He can set you free.
√ If you are captivated by fear and the weights of your life – He is there for you.
We extend this conversation into the two links below – which unfold much more on this unique power that has been experienced by so many.
Peace friend!
