The Gospels record Jesus performing something like 37 specific miracles during the three years of His public ministry on the earth. There were, of course, many more than this as there were times when Jesus healed all who came to him, without the actual number of miracles being noted. John concludes His Gospel by saying: “Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written” (John 21:25). We know that one reason Jesus performed so many miracles of healing was to help people know that He was sent from heaven and was God’s Son. But we also find places where Jesus healed people simply out of compassion. The question asked by many is, “Does God still heal today?" While I don’t claim to understand why everyone who petitions God for healing is not healed, I am convinced that God does in fact heal people today.
This Sunday as we continue our Blindsided series, we will hear the testimony of someone who was brought back from certain death by a miracle of healing. No matter what you might be facing in your life, I’m sure you will be encouraged by this amazing testimony.
Yours in Christ’s love,
Bo
