Jesus Heals

Jesus heals the brokenhearted.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
Because He has anointed Me
To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed.
Luke 4:18 NKJV

Why Jesus still heals today:
1. Jesus heals because He has compassion.
Because of what He endured on the cross, the Lord
fully understands the pain and suffering we experience.
2. Jesus heals to bring glory to His father.
Christ knew the source of His power and continually
reminded people that He had come to do the work of His Father.
3. Jesus heals to fulfill the Father's promise.
The miracles of Christ... are the fulfillment of God's
promises spoken through His prophets to us His people.
4. Healing belongs to His children.
God heals without respect of persons. He heals anyone.
5. Healing demonstrates the power of God.
People saw the power of God through Jesus' action of healing.
6. Healing demonstrates the power of His blood.
Christ's death on the cross was not only for your salvation,
but for your healing.
7. Jesus heals to destroy the works of the devil.
Every time someone is healed, Satan loses his battle.

Jesus is anointed to heal you.
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with
power, who went about doing good and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:38
