Healing in the New Testament

Do you find yourself wondering if Jesus is willing to heal you? Let’s look at the ministry of Jesus Christ, whom the Bible says is “the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8 NKJV). That means if He did it before, He will do it again. As you read about the many healings and miracles Jesus performed on a continual basis, it will cause your faith to grow and your expectation to rise. “Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17 KJV). Throughout the gospels, people with various sicknesses went to Jesus for healing. Some were near death, and some were actually dead. There were people with strong faith and others who struggled to believe. All the people Jesus healed were unsaved, as Jesus had not yet purchased salvation on the cross. These are the keys to every one of these miracles: (1) Those who were sick made sure they were in the presence of Jesus. (2) They willingly received His word and acted on it. Read about some of the miracles Jesus performed: (1) Simon’s mother-in-law healed of a fever (Matthew 8:14-15); (2) The resurrection of Jairus’s daughter (Mark 5:21-24, 35-43); (3) Healing of the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25-34); (4) A deaf man healed (Mark 7:32-37); (5) A severed ear restored (Luke 22:47-51); (6) A blind man healed (John 9:1-41). Jesus never said no to a cry for help and healing: “Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all” (Matthew 12:15 KJV). And what He did for them, He can do for you if you pray and believe His Word.
