"He Healed Them All"
“Great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all.” Matthew
12:15
(This devotion is taken from Charles Spurgeon’s Morning & Evening.)
What a mass of hideous sickness must have thrust
itself under the eye of Jesus! Yet we read not that He was
disgusted, but patiently waited on every case. What a singular
variety of evils must have met at His feet! What sickening ulcers
and putrefying sores! Yet He was ready for every new shape of the
monster evil, and was victor over it in every form. Let the arrow
fly from what quarter it might, He quenched its fiery power. The
heat of fever, or the cold of dropsy; the lethargy of palsy, or the
rage of madness; the filth of leprosy, or the darkness of opthalmia—all
knew the power of His word, and fled at His command. In every
corner of the field He was triumphant over evil, and received the
homage of delivered captives. He came, He saw, He conquered
everywhere. It is even so this morning. Whatever my own
case may be, the beloved Physician can heal me; and whatever may be the
state of others whom I may remember at this moment in prayer, I may
have hope in Jesus that He will be able to heal them of their
sins. My child, my friend, my dearest one, I can have hope for
each, for all, when I remember the healing power of my Lord; and on my
own account, however severe my struggle with sins and infirmities, I
may yet be of good cheer. He who on earth walked the hospitals,
still dispenses His grace, and works wonders among the sons of
men: let me go to Him at once in right earnest.
Let me praise Him, this morning, as I remember how
He wrought His spiritual cures, which bring Him most renown. It
was by taking upon Himself our sicknesses. “By His stripes we are
healed.” The church on earth is full of souls healed by our
beloved Physician; and the inhabitants of heaven itself confess that
“He healed them all.” Come, then, my soul, publish abroad the
virtue of His grace, and let it be “to the Lord for a name, for an
everlasting sign which shall not be cut off.”
Study verses: Isaiah 53:1-12;
Philippians 3:20, 21; I Corinthians 6:9-12;
Romans 7:15-25
