It’s clear that Jesus healed everyone who reached out to him. So why is physical healing so uncommon in our churches today? We have many questions, but this much we do know: Jesus has not stopped healing people – and he is certainly able to heal. And, as our text today assures us, he is willing to heal.
Healing: Jesus is willing
13 March 2022 • Pastor Michael Dutschke • for the 2nd Sunday in Lent
Bible Passage: Matthew 8:1-4
+ expandWhen Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2 A man with leprosy[a] came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. 4 Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
