Who is Jesus ? Part 3

Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely give.


We have been discussing on the benefits of the Gospel, as a 'package'. We can proceed in order to see much more deeply, the effects of becoming believers of Christ.
The terms which are popularly given to the elements of the above package are healing ministry, deliverance ministry and others. The acheivement of what had been done on the cross, gets us to receive the same 'package' as all have been provided with, and based upon situations and others, we can keep doing the same kind of activity.


What is healing ministry? 
Jesus spend His days majorly among people, healing the sick and providing them comfort through His words. He spoke about the coming of the Kingdom of God to them. Jesus was able to give two kinds of healing to suffering people: Physical healing and spiritual healing.


What is physical healing?
Jesus went about in the worship places of His country, and He sought to establish the Kingdom of God through His ministry of healing. Jesus healed many people of their afflictions. There were several dieases in those days and they had tormented people to a considerable level.

Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

Jesus had healed people who were afflicted by 'all manner of sicknesses' and 'all manner of diseases'. Jesus had power over all the diseases which the people had at that time. He was a one-stop remedy for physical ailments.

Matthew 4:24 "...  and they brought to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, ... and he healed them."

The word 'divers' means 'various kinds of'. People who had various diseaes were healed. Jesus had power over various kinds of diseases.

Matthew 9:35 "... and healing every sickness and every disease among the people."

As in the above verse, Jesus went about preaching in various places, and when they brought to him those who were afflicted by diseases, they were healed.

The disciples also went about teahing and healing people, just like Jesus.

Luke 9:6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.


The disciples of Jesus were close associates of Jesus, and had witnessed majority of His actions. They were witnessing how the Kingdom of God was provided for the people to whom Jesus preached.


Now there is something known as spiritual healing.


What is physical healing?
People who had diseases were given the necessary relief from their afflictions. There were people belonging to other categories also, along with those who suffered physically. Jesus preached about the Kingdom of God and it's attributes giving the benefits to the people. This is popularly known as the Beatitudes spoken by Jesus on the mount. People who are new to Jesus must go through this in Matthew 5:3-12 in order to get a complete picture of how God's Kingdom will be on earth. These scriptures actually speak of the benefits
of the Kingdom of God in an emotional/spiritual perspective.
