Last Sunday's Sermon

The Healing of Jesus

Jesus' ministry is full of healing: the blind see, the lame walk, and the sick are raised to full health. This passage describes two healings in detail, and they teach us about the healing of Jesus overall. Jesus heals a leper, addressing a variety of needs with his grace. He touches a man many considered untouchable, demonstrating a rich compassion for those in need. And when Jesus heals a paralyzed man, he surprises everyone by diagnosing and addressing his greatest need and our own.

Application Questions

1. How can the comprehensive healing of Jesus give you more patience, endurance, and love in your life now?
2. What would it look like for our church community to follow Jesus lead and refuse to keep others at arms length, especially in their places of greatest need?
3. Do you agree with Jesus' diagnosis that your greatest need is the forgiveness of your sins? How does your answer influence the way you live?
