Who is Jesus? #130

What was/is His interest in healing?

He healed the blind. He healed the demon possessed. He healed the lepers. He healed those deaf and dumb. He healed the lame. Was that what He was truly interested in? If so, couldn't He have just spoken a powerful word and everyone would have been healed of whatever illness they were dealing with? There had to be more to it than that. There was something about COMING to the Healer for Healing. Do we not hear the call of Jesus resounding in our hearts, "Come?" "Come to me all who are heavy burdened and I will give you rest." Perhpas Peter give us the ultimate statement about the ultimate healing. " "The Lord ... is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to COME to repentance, (II Peter 3:9)." There is certainly power in the Healer, but there is also power in the COMING.

Here we come!
