099 – Have you ever wondered how Jesus healed people?

There are so many ways to talk about this, and there’s no way to go into great depth in a single podcast episode. But there are a few main points I will emphasize.

How did Jesus heal?

First, I believe he was so completely aware of God’s healing presence. 

Jesus knew the Scriptures, so we can assume he knew this verse "I am the LORD who heals you." (Exodus 15:26)

It brings to mind the words of David in Psalms, "He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies." (Psalm 103:3, 4)

Jesus knew God was the source of healing, of health, and wholeness.

That’s really the first step in understanding how Jesus healed and being able to heal as he did.

The second thing I want to emphasize is the way Jesus described his ability to accomplish something.

He said, "I can do nothing on my own." (John 5:30) and "...my Father who lives in me does his work through me." (John 14:10)  

Jesus makes it even clearer how he is able to do all he does when he says, "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does."  (John 5:19 )

Jesus repeats that he can’t do anything on his own. He only does what he sees God doing and it is God working through him to accomplish whatever he does, including healing.

Let that sink in a minute. How does this apply to you and me? Can we say the same things? Can we follow Jesus’s methodology here? Can we adopt this mindset?

The answer is yes, but it’s not necessarily easy.

What can you see God doing?

When you and I can see God at work the way Jesus did, we will be able to do the works that Jesus did.
