Jesus heals various illnesses and conditions. The presentation discusses Jesus healing Peter's mother-in-law of a fever, exorcising demons, and healing all who were sick. It explores the routine of Jesus seeing and healing both physically and spiritually. Reasons for healing included bearing our sins and living righteously. Responses to healing included serving Jesus, leaving him, thanking him, and seeking him. The greatest sickness is sin, and physical sickness sometimes helps cure sinful habits. Maintaining a focus on healing souls rather than just bodies is important.

OBJECTIVES
To understand:
• Various types of
healing Jesus can
give
• Why he bore our
sins/ sicknesses
• Attitudes to
receive complete
healing
• How we can help
others get healed

5. BIBLE PASSAGES
14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s
mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 15 He touched her
hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait
on him.
16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed
were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word
and healed all the sick. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken
through the prophet Isaiah:
“He took up our infirmities
and bore our diseases.” Matthew 8
Also read Mark 1:29-34, 3.7-12; Luke 4:38-42; 6.17-19

6. INTRODUCTION –
JESUS HEALS
Peter’s mother in
law
Demons
Heals sick
Even those
touching him

7. ROUTINE OF HEALING
• He saw and
healed – Peter’s
mother in law
• Some were
brought
• Others came –
from long
distance to hear,
to be healed
• Some reached
out

8. ROUTINE OF HEALING
Similarly
Spiritually:
• He sees and
heals
• Some are
brought
• Others come –
to hear, to be
healed
• Some reach out

9. ROUTINE OF HEALING
We could apply levels of
faith here:
• For His disciples, He
is watching and
proactively healing
• Some reach out,
knowing his power,
yet feeling
inadequate to talk to
him
• Others come – to
hear, to be healed
• Those who cannot
come on their own
are brought

10. DISCUSSION
How can we
identify the
spiritually
helpless (unable
to help
themselves) and
bring them to
Christ?

11. RESPONSES TO
HEALING
Serving Jesus
Leaving Jesus
Thanking Jesus
Seeking Jesus

12. RESPONSES TO
HEALING
When Christ
touches us there
is a reason – to in
turn touch others.
Do we fulfil the
purpose of
healing we have
received?

13. JESUS HEALS
REASONS FOR HEALING
One objective –
that we may die to
sin and live to
righteousness
One means –
bearing our sin on
his body
One outcome -
salvation

14. REASONS FOR HEALING
SICKNESS OF SOUL
24 He himself
bore our sins in
his body on the
tree, that we
might die to sin
and live to
righteousness. By
his wounds you
have been healed
1 Peter 2

15. REFLECTION
“Our sins are
called our griefs
and sorrows
because all our
griefs and sorrows
are owing to our
sins and our sins
deserve all our
griefs and sorrows,
even those that are
most extreme and
everlasting.” [1]

16. REFLECTION
Though the best
of us deserve the
worst of suffering,
God uses this
necessary evil to
purify every one
of His children.
No sorrow needs
to be wasted in
His Kingdom for
His children

17. REVELATIONS ON HEALING
God is primarily concerned about healing from sin
The worst agonies of physical sickness is a weak reflection
of the worst sickness - sin
Most of us (even believers) progressively realize our sinful
state
Often physical sickness helps cure sinful habits
Spiritual healing is available to all
Some are unable to help themselves. We need to seek and
help such people

18. REVELATIONS ON HEALING
Many Christians are diverted into caring for bodies, without
realizing they are completely neglecting souls
Many Christian institutions have reduced themselves into
feeding and educating with weak spiritual focus
Most religions do the above services
While physical needs shout at us loudly souls are silently
screaming and dying
To meaningfully serve, caring for body should result in
caring for the soul

19. DISCUSSION
1. What strikes you about Christ’s healing
approach?
2. How can we maintain focus on souls and retain
SOUL VISION? Take examples from situations
around.
3. What attitude towards healing should we have?
