TEXT: MATTHEW 9:1-13
Key verse: “...They
that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick” (Matthew 9:12).
Jesus Christ is the
Saviour of the world. He alone possesses the ability to deliver man from the
tenacious grip of sin. He also has the power to heal those who are suffering
from sicknesses and diseases.
Christ’s power to save
and heal is evident in the healing ministered to the paralysed man, and the
forgiveness of sin freely offered him. This man, no doubt, attracted the
sympathy of his friends; they did their best for him by bringing him to Jesus
Christ who alone was equipped to take away all the problems of life.
Mere sympathies are not
usually enough for people suffering from sicknesses and diseases. In fact, sympathizers
sometimes have nothing more to offer than words. Christ Jesus is the only One
who can offer a lasting solution to man’s problems. Apart from the ability to
heal, He also has the power to save from sin.
When we are at the
crossroads of life and all efforts appear futile and hopeless, our unwavering
confidence in God will yield result and our expectations will be met. Jesus
Christ, the Son of God, came into the world to save sinners. He was anointed
with the Holy Ghost and with power and went about doing good, healing all that
were oppressed of the devil. No matter how great your trouble might be, whether
it is an incurable disease that has defied all medication or a problem that
erupted suddenly, Jesus will heal as you put your trust in Him.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Jesus has remedies for all maladies.
