“When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.” [1]
Bring them on! Kind and caring souls brought struggling people to Jesus. Demons had made their lives horrible. Jesus spoke a word and the demons departed from them. Others were battling infirmities. Jesus healed them.
Yes, God wants us to be whole. He also cares for our souls. Only He saves our souls from everlasting torment and brings us to heaven.
The worst disaster or crisis to avert in this life is the crisis of faith. Without faith in Christ it is impossible to be saved eternally. Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life. We must believe in Him to be saved.
Saving faith in Jesus is not a mere intellectual assent to information from the Bible, but a conversion of the soul thanks to a divine work of God in one’s heart. We each need the revelation that Jesus is God’s Messiah. He is the Savior of the world. This divine revelation prompts to action.
Like the humble souls in the Gospel, seek Jesus for a miracle. Jesus is the answer for your dilemma. Our Lord Jesus will respond to you with love and grace.
[1] Matthew 8:16-17
Bearing witness to the Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus!
