We shall finish the questions part of this Lesson with a wonderful miracle which took place just before Jesus died on Calvary. It is found in St. MARK 14:47; LUKE 22:50-51 and St. JOHN 18:10-11

There was a time when even John the Baptist had doubts about Jesus being the Messiah, so he sent two of his disciples to Jesus to make enquiry. The Lord re-assured them in the same hour by giving sight to the blind, making the lame to walk, cleansing the lepers, unstopping deaf ears, raising the dead, curing many of their plagues and infirmities, and casting out evil spirits (Matthew 11:2-6 and Luke 7:19-23). The healing ministry is a confirmation of the truth of the Gospel and must never come before – in emphasis – of the central theme of repentance and faith in Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. We can go to heaven with a sick body, but we cannot enter with an unsaved soul! Salvation is the most important. But, having trusted in God for our salvation, why not trust Him to meet our physical needs as well?
Why not turn to Psalm 103:1-5 and join the Psalmist in his exhortation to bless the Lord for a full salvation and a healthy body? Praise the Lord!
“BLESS the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all thine iniquities; who heals all your diseases; Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”
Let the truth of Divine Healing be settled in your heart NOW for ever! It is the will of God to heal those who are sick and oppressed of the devil. God’s will for YOU is ABUNDANT LIFE in JESUS CHRIST – body, soul and spirit (John 10:10). God is no respecter of persons – His promises of salvation and healing are to all, as Peter declared:-
“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. The Word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ - He is Lord of all - that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him” (Acts 10:34-38).
