Bible Note: Hi Brad, Yes I agree with you that the widespread healing work done by Jesus was for the purpose of declaring Who He is. "Believe for the works sake" was a common message from Him. I think the context in Matthew, as he wrote of Jesus healing Peter's mother, then then saying Isaiah's prophecy was fullfilled, that Matthew was if fact saying this was about physical healing, and when the disciples asked Jesus of the blind man, John 9:2 "And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?", Jesus asnswered in 9:3, "Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him." As for myself, while I appreciated physical healing in my body, it is in fact the healing of my "soul sickness" that means the most by far. As He has healed my heart and mind, I can more easily bear with my unhealed body. Thank you! Love in Christ, Mark |
