Healing (Matthew 8:16-17)

Matthew 8:16-17

New Living Translation (NLT)

 

 

.

¹⁶ That evening many demon-possessed people were brought to Jesus. He cast out the evil spirits with a simple command, and he healed all the sick. ¹⁷ This fulfilled the word of the Lord through the prophet Isaiah, who said,

“He took our sicknesses
   and removed our diseases.”

 

 

 

 

Through a single touch, Jesus healed, when He spoke a single word, evil spirits fled His presence. Jesus has authority over all evil powers and all earthly disease. He also has power and authority to conquer sin. Sickness and evil are consequences of living in a fallen world. But in the future, when God removes all sin, there will be no more sickness and death. Jesus' healing miracles were a taste of what the whole world will one day experience in God's kingdom.

 

 

 

 

Lord, continue to heal my brother.
