A lot of the time when we think about Jesus, we think about the teachings He gave and, of course, His sacrifice for our life. In the grand scheme, these things do tend to overshadow what I want to talk about today, however, that doesn't mean this is less important. Because we tend to think about Jesus sacrifice, we oversee His healing and miracles.
While on Earth, Jesus went around to different cities proclaiming His word and healing those who would otherwise go unseen. These healing miracles were just that, miracles. The lepers of the world who would have gone unnoticed except by the priests who would condemn them, the blind who would never see, the demon possessed; Jesus would heal any and all who sought His light.
The sick were seen as the lowly. They, not always, would go unloved and unnoticed by society, that was, until Jesus came. Even though no one in their right mind would touch the Lepers, Jesus gladly touched them and healed them. Rather than shrug away, He would stretch out His hand and cure the unsightly of their blemishes, making them just as beautiful as the most handsome prince.
Even Jesus sacrifice was a healing. By sacrificing His own body on that cross, Jesus healed us with His blood, painting us white as the snow. We often see Jesus as a teacher, but He is so much more. Jesus, friend, father, brother, teacher, healer.
