God always wants to heal you – and your children. We know this from Jesus’ life and ministry.
We all know that Jesus healed people. What keeps Him from healing now? Some people do teach that healing is not for today, but what I read is that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
Someone came to Jesus and said, I know you can, but will you. Jesus said, “I will.” (Mark 1:40-41)
Jesus went about doing good, healing people. In several places it says that “he healed them all.” Jesus is still the same.
Some people say, “Well, only one guy at the pool of Siloam got healed.” Fine, maybe so, but nowhere does it say that Jesus didn’t WANT to heal everyone else. Some people looked to the pool, the angel, the tradition, the brick temple. One person accepted healing from Jesus.
Even he had to be coaxed. “Do you want to be healed?” Jesus asked. Out from his mouth came a distraction: “I have no man to let me down into the water.” John 5: 7 Jesus said, “Rise, take up thy bed and walk.” V8
Perhaps no one else looked at Jesus. Perhaps no one else listened to Jesus. Perhaps he spoke to them and they turned away. We do know that this fellow heard obeyed Jesus. “And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked” v.9a We do not, absolutely do not have any stories of people coming to Jesus, looking to him for healing, asking for help and Him turning them away.
Jesus says to you today: “Do you want to be healed? He has made provision. He is present. He is powerful. He is willing. Look to him. Call to him. Are you by the pool at the temple? If he spoke to you, would you obey? Look to Jesus! Thank Him for his great work for you.
