Pastor’s Introduction
Introduction
Text
Big Idea
Transition
The healing ministry of Jesus was motivated by...
A Heart of Compassion
Jesus loved people and people were suffering.
There were people in pain, marginalized by society, overwhelmed with fear, desperate for relief.
There were the lame, the blind, the deaf, the mute, the leprous, the bleeding, the sick, and the dying.
Jesus had compassion for the people.
Jesus reached out to people and healed them.
Crowds would surround Jesus.
People realized that Jesus could heal their sickness.
He was able to turn grieving parents, stressed out families, frustrated friends, into people of joy.
In His compassion, Jesus brought so much joy into the lives of people.
Transition
Remember the story that Wayne Tresch shared last week about the lame man?
Jesus healed the man, not only from a motivation of compassion, but it served as...
A Revelation of Divine Identity and Authority
Jesus demonstrated His authority to forgive and His authority to heal people.
This demonstration of authority revealed His identity.
Healing was to be a sign of the Messiah—the sent One from God the Father—who would save people from their sins.
Not only does Jesus’ healing ministry reveal his identity as the Messiah, but also it demonstrates his authority as God (Second Person of the Trinity)—he can forgive and heal.
In fact, the Scripture clearly pointed us to this fact:
Transition
Jesus healed to reveal His identity and authority as the Messiah and as the infinite Son of God.
And the healing of sickness and disease pointed to the work of salvation.
The Old Testament prophet Isaiah, reveals a powerful, life-changing truth:
Jesus’ healing ministry served as...
A Validation of Atonement (Jesus’ sacrificial death)
The problem of sickness and disease is directly related to the problem of sin and death—the consequences of humankind’s first disobedience and defiance toward God.
Through the life and sacrifice of his Son, Jesus, God provides freedom, restoration and other benefits that far exceed the pain, destruction, and other consequences of humankind’s sin and rebellion against God.
Jesus’ death was more than enough to provide complete freedom and restoration for the whole person—spirit, soul, and body.
Satan uses sin and sickness as tools to destroy us, but God provides forgiveness and healing in order to restore our relationship with him and make us whole—spiritually and physically.
Christ’s followers should humbly and faithfully pray for and accept everything that Christ’s sacrifice provides—including the healing of our bodies.
Conclusion
Jesus heals today!
