"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord." - Luke 4:18 - 19
Gospel is literally good news! What then is the good news? The good news is the blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor will be poor no more! More importantly, sinners can be made the righteousness of God in Christ through the one complete sacrificial work at the cross. All our sins are forgiven through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
The gift of salvation has to be received in order for the redemptive power to be effective in our lives. Once we have accepted Christ Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are grafted into the kingdom of God, we are sons and daughters of the most high God! As Christ is so are we in this world!
Jesus was never sick. Jesus was never in lack. Jesus was never hurried. Jesus was never angry towards the sinners. Even His "chiding" was to encourage His disciples to take more from Him! We always see a perfect Jesus! We see His healing virtue manifested in a mighty way when He healed all who come to Him for healing. We see How he touched the lepers and the leprosy left them. Wow, what a personal and thoughtful act! Jesus knew the lepers were missing human touch and He just fulfilled that very lack.
Distance is never an issue where healing is concerned. Jesus can heal from where He is now at the right hand of God. The bible says Jesus healed a centurion's servant from afar when He heard the request for healing that servant. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jesus is still healing today!
When Jesus was on earth, He was never in lack. The bible says wise men from the east came to worship Him and presented to Him gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Riches and honor follow after Jesus. When we pursue Jesus, riches and honor follow us! So stop striving to pursue the richness of the earth through our own effort. Pursue Jesus and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us into all blessings. Surely, the blessings of the Lord make one rich and no sorrowful toil can make up to it.
Jesus knows our every need. When the fishermen in the bible caught nothing the night before, Jesus gave them a net breaking and boat sinking harvest of fishes! When the Samaritan woman needed love, Jesus provided the ultimate love the woman had always wanted. The bible tells us that even when Lazarus was dead for four days, Jesus was able and willing to raise him from the dead.
Keep hearing the gospel. For out of it comes the answer to our every need. For out it we see the beauty and perfection of Jesus Christ. And when we behold Jesus Christ, we are been transformed from glory to glory in His image! Hallelujah!
