He healed them all
But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew from there. And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all. Matthew 12:15
Jesus never turned anyone away when they came to Him for healing. He was always ready to respond to someone who came to Him in faith. In today’s reading, Jesus healed a man in the synagogue and then those who followed Him out, had faith to believe for healing because they saw it happen to the man with the withered hand. The scripture says He healed them all!
Somewhere, many people today have gotten the idea that healing was only for certain people that God decided would be healed. There is no evidence for this in the scripture. Jesus plainly said, anyone who would come to Him would in no way be turned away (see John 6). Even in the Old Testament it says He heals all our diseases. (See Psalms 103)
He will not turn us away when we come to Him in faith. Whether a sickness or disease? Through treatments or even something that looks uncurable, nothing is too difficult for Him to heal. The truth is, it is up to us to go to Him in faith. We cannot go with the mentality that it probably won’t make a difference or just assume that because I am a Christian, Jesus should just heal me. It has to be an intentional step of faith. Through faith is how we received our salvation, and through faith is how we receive anything from Him. Hebrews 11:6 says, without faith it is impossible to please or reach Him. You must believe that His is and He rewards those who diligently and purposefully seek Him.
Today I want to encourage you to walk with Him daily and continually cultivate your own personal relationship with Him. Make the Word of God final authority in your life and believe that God your Father is the same yesterday, today and forever. Believe that He only wants good for you and even though it may take some time, He will see you through every struggle and every affliction to get you through to victory, but you must hold on. Don’t be discouraged about setbacks or slow progress. Only believe that He is working all things together for your good because you love Him, and you have a mission to complete. He will accomplish that plan in you until it is finished.
Today’s scripture reading: Matthew 12:9-21
9 Going on from that place, He went into their synagogue,
10 and a man with a shriveled hand was there. Looking for a reason to bring charges against Jesus, they asked Him, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
11 He said to them, “If any of you has a sheep and it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will you not take hold of it and lift it out?
12 How much more valuable is a person than a sheep! Therefore, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
13 Then He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand. ”So, he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other.
14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how they might kill Jesus, God’s Chosen Servant.
15 Aware of this, Jesus withdrew from that place. A large crowd followed Him, and He healed all who were ill.
16 He warned them not to tell others about Him.
17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
18 “Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on Him, and He will proclaim justice to the nations.
19 He will not quarrel or cry out; no one will hear His voice in the streets.
20 A bruised reed He will not break, and a smoldering wick He will not snuff out, till He has brought justice through to victory.
21 In His name the nations will put their hope.”
