Surely He has borne ourgriefs and carried our
sorrows; yet we esteemedHim stricken, smitten byGod, and afflicted (Isaiah 53:4)
Christ alone was able to bear the afflictions of the many. In all their
affliction he was afflicted (Isaiah 63:9). He never bore disease in His own flesh,
but He carried the sickness of others. With tenderest sympathy He looked upon
the suffering ones who pressed about Him. He groaned in spirit as He saw the
work of Satan revealed in all their woe, and He made every case of need and of
sorrow His own The power of love was in all His healing. He identified Hisinterests with suffering humanityE.G.W. (That I may know Him, February 11)

Which is easier, to say to theparalytic, Your sins are forgivenyou, or to say, Arise, take upyour bed and walk? (Mark 2:9)
Jesus went about all the cities and
villages healing every sickness and
every disease among the people
(Matthew 9:35)But Jesus doesnt heal physical sickness
only, but He also heals moral sickness;
that is, sin. Jesus always tried to heal the
whole being (spirit, soul and body)
Not every sickness is a consequence of
our sin. Nevertheless, mind and body are
closely related. Anguish, regret or shame
may provoke illness; they can only be
completely healed by the forgiveness of
our Savior.

modern diseases.

yourselves treasures in heaven (Mt. 6:19-20)2. Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink;
nor about your body, what you will put on (Mt. 6:25)
3. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these
things shall be added to you (Mt. 6:33)
4. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble (Mt. 6:34)

There was a great display of healing in the early
years of the Church.
First, a lame was healed (Acts 3:1-19); then, the gift
of healing began to emerge in the Church.
The sick were placed at the street to be healed
when Peter went past (Acts 5:15). Philip cast
demons out and healed lame and paralyzed (Acts
8:6-8). Paul also healed many sick (Acts 19:11-12;
28:7-9)
Even two resurrections were recorded in the Bible,
Dorcas (Acts 9:36-42) and Eutychus (Acts 20:7-10)
Those miracles showed that Gods presence was
among them. As the Gospel was spread, the
healing miracles began to gradually disappear.
so that they brought the sick out into the streets andlaid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadowof Peter passing by might fall on some of them
(Acts 5:15)

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Isanyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyoneamong you sick? Let him call for the elders of thechurch, and let them pray over him, anointing himwith oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offaith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise himup. And if he has committed sins, he will beforgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another,
and pray for one another, that you may be healed.The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous manavails much (James 5:13-16)
God gave three powerful tools to the current
Church for physical and spiritual healing:
A. Prayer.
B. Anointing the sick.
C. The Health Reform.

Jesus said to her, I am the resurrection andthe life. He who believes in Me, though he maydie, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes
in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?(John 11:25-26)
Jesus raised the son
of the widow of Nain
(Lk. 7: 11-17)
Jesus raised the
Jairus daughter
(Mr. 5:21.43)
Jesus raised Lazarus
(Jn. 11:37-44)
Jesus proved that He has power over death. He didnt plan to prolong this
sinful life; but He wants to raise us to a better life, to an eternal sinless life.
Sickness and accidents may prevail today, but eternal life is guaranteed to
those who accept Jesus as their Savior.
