Jesus Christ is an outstanding personality of all times and peoples. Most people worship him as either God or the Son of God. Regardless of who he is believed to be, one thing conquers everyone in him: Jesus during his earthly life could heal the sick. Interestingly, he did it in different ways.
The blind man sees, the deaf hears, the dumb exclaims with joy, the lame stands firmly on his feet! All this was a reality during the time when Jesus Christ lived. Jesus did this absolutely unselfishly and free of charge.
How Jesus Healed People
In addition, Jesus even had the ability to raise people from the dead. There are several such cases recorded in Scripture.
There are several instances in history when Jesus performed miracles. Once a blind man was brought to him. Jesus decided that it was necessary to restore this person's sight gradually. First, taking his hand, he put his saliva over his eyes. The man saw trees that were moving. The blind man assumed that he saw people. After that, Christ again touched the patient's eyes, and he began to see everything clearly and clearly.
Why did Jesus consider it important to gradually restore that person's sight? While no exact answer is given anywhere, many make some assumptions. A person who has been blind and has not seen anything for many years, or even from birth, becoming sighted, faces a tremendous shock. The fact that Jesus restored his sight in stages shows that he was very empathetic and knew how to empathize with people.
Another case of healing occurred while Jesus was returning from the vicinity of Tire. A deaf man with a speech disorder was brought to Jesus. And again, Christ showed his magnificent qualities! He took that person aside, perhaps realizing that he might be embarrassed by the crowd, and on the sidelines completely healed him. Christ put his fingers into his ears, and, spitting, touched his tongue. After which the person seemed to start living anew! His ears began to hear, his tongue moved, and his speech was clear.
While performing the healing, Jesus often looked at the sky and let out a characteristic sigh, thereby showing that he is turning to his Father for help.
Also, Christ did not remain indifferent to paralyzed people. Once such a man was brought to him, and Jesus saw in these people a deep faith in him. Therefore, he healed the paralyzed man, saying that he was forgiven of all sins.
Christ did not remain indifferent to people who suffered from terrible diseases all their lives. One day he healed a group of lepers. In those days, this disease was considered one of the most terrible. Rarely did someone heal on their own. In the time of Jesus, such people lived separately from civilized society. Nobody could come to them, and they could not see healthy people for decades. Christ, faced with such people, did not remain indifferent to them. He gladly and willingly healed everyone.
Where did Jesus have the power to heal and heal the sick?
Whenever Jesus healed someone, he gave all the glory for it to God. He emphasized that he received the gift of healing from his heavenly Father. But Jesus never used any kind of witchcraft or witchcraft. Therefore, it would be more correct to call him a healer, not a medicine man.
