Having just gone through major open heart surgery to replace my calcified aortic valve, I have a lot of appreciation for Jesus being a healer.
\u202d\u202dMatthew\u202c \u202d12\u202c:\u202d13\u202c-\u202d15\u202c, \u202d17\u202c-\u202d21\u202c \u202dNLT\u202c\u202c:
\u201cThen he said to the man, \u201cHold out your hand.\u201d So the man held out his hand, and it was restored, just like the other one! Then the Pharisees called a meeting to plot how to kill Jesus. But Jesus knew what they were planning. So he left that area, and many people followed him. He healed all the sick among them, This fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah concerning him: \u201cLook at my Servant, whom I have chosen. He is my Beloved, who pleases me. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. He will not fight or shout or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. Finally he will cause justice to be victorious. And his name will be the hope of all the world.\u201d\u201d
Luke\u202c \u202d4\u202c:\u202d16\u202c-\u202d21\u202c \u202dNLT:
\u201cWhen he came to the village of Nazareth, his boyhood home, he went as usual to the synagogue on the Sabbath and stood up to read the Scriptures. The scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where this was written: \u201cThe Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see, that the oppressed will be set free, and that the time of the Lord\u2019s favor has come. \u201d He rolled up the scroll, handed it back to the attendant, and sat down. All eyes in the synagogue looked at him intently. Then he began to speak to them. \u201cThe Scripture you\u2019ve just heard has been fulfilled this very day!\u201d\u201d
\u202d\u202dPsalms\u202c \u202d103\u202c:\u202d1\u202c-\u202d5\u202c \u202dNLT:\u202c\u202c
\u201cLet all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies. He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle\u2019s!\u201d
\u202d\u202d1 Peter\u202c \u202d2\u202c:\u202d22\u202c-\u202d25\u202c \u202dNLT\u202c\u202c:
\u201cHe never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly. He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed. Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.\u201d
