“He Healed Many”

“He Healed Many”

Blessings folk!

Jesus’ teaching…
Jesus’ authority…
Jesus’ command over unclean demons…

The news of such spread throughout the area…

Mark 1:27-28
They were all amazed, so that they debated among themselves, saying, “What is this?
A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.”

Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee.


Now, watch what happens next.
We have another account of Peter’s mother-in-law being healed by the Lord.
Watch the response of the people.

Mar 1:29-34

And immediately after they came out of the synagogue,
they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

Now Simon’s mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever;
and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her.

And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand,
and the fever left her, and she waited on them.

When evening came, after the sun had set,
they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed.

And the whole city had gathered at the door.

And He healed many who were ill with various diseases, and cast out many demons;
and He was not permitting the demons to speak, because they knew who He was.

“They” spoke to Jesus about her.
They are concerned.

This is how we should be.
We should take all things to Jesus.

Jesus…

  • came to her
  • raised her up
  • took her by the hand

The fever left.
She waited on them.

The response of the people?
The word spread.
They began to bring the ill, the diseased, the demonic.
The whole city gathered.

Matthew tells us that Jesus healed them all.

Mat 4:24

The news about Him spread throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill,
those suffering with various diseases and pains, demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics;
and He healed them.

The Lord heals today.
He desires to use His Body to do so.
Yet, we refuse.
We walk in fear rather than faith.
We speak “cute teaching” rather than the power of the Word and Blood of the Lord Jesus.

The “whole city” will come when the power of God is present.
The “power of man” will gather a gaggle for a show…that’s about it.

Lord, forgive us.
Lord, be glorified in us as we now forget the foolishness of the past and press on in faith in power.
