OUR LORD OUR HEALER

The Lord Jesus was reknown in the area of Judea and beyond for the healing miracles that He performed which touched the lives of people who were blind, deaf, mute, lame and people who had many other infirmities.

Wherever He traveled teaching the good news of the kingdom of God, miracles followed Him and changed the lives of those afflicted.

These miracles were among the signs that confirmed that Jesus was the Messiah Israel had been waiting for.

Jesus declared this when John the Baptist sent word to Jesus asking if He was the "Expected One" or if they should expect another.

Now when John, while imprisoned, heard of the works of Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to Him, “Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see: the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.

            - Mathew 11 verse 2 - 5

The sign of widespread and public healing was an important marker of the appearance of the Lord. 

The Lord gladly and willing heals those who ask Him. He paid the price for our healing because at the time of His crucifixion, Jesus underwent a brutal scurging and terrible injuries to His physical body. These injuries, having been inflicted on an innocent person,  purchased our healing for by His wounds you were healed. -  1 Peter 2 verse 24.

Give thanks to our Lord for His wonderful gift of healing He purchased for us.

Amen.
