Jesus Heals

Jesus Heals

“When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.  He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him. 
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.  
This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.” 
                    Matthew 8:14-17.
Whenever I engage non-Christians about Jesus and the truth of the Bible the one thing I find they cannot dismiss is the miraculous healings Jesus did.
Lets face it the Bible is the foundation of Christianity. The purpose of the Bible is to build up Christians in their faith and point non-Christians to Christ and heaven.
I’ve had non-Christians say the healings were not real. If so why put them in the Bible it would be a lie and counter productive to the cause of Christ.
No the healings recorded in the Bible are true and one more proof that Jesus is who he said he is.
Everything that is mentioned in the Bible is true there is no denying it. One must accept everything that it says even if it at times means a leap of faith.
The writer of Hebrews noting,
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” 
                              Hebrews 11:6.
Think about it.
