Jesus Heals
Jesus heals physically and spiritually.
Jesus was to be stoned by his accuser for claiming to be the Son of God. He used scripture in the book of Psalms to defend himself and quoted, “I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.” Jesus escaped the threat that may cost him his life. This shows evidence of the power of the word of God that when we are in a situation where we need help, His Holy Spirit will move to protect and guide us. It is to our advantage that we put God first in our hearts and minds 24/7. Even when sleeping, we are protected around the clock. Jesus escaped from the accuser’s hand, and many may ask how he did that. Psalm 82:6 says; Is it not written in your Law, “I said, you are gods”? If he called them gods to whom the word of God came — and Scripture cannot be broken — do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, “You are blaspheming,” because I said, “I am the Son of God”? (John 10:34–36)
Jesus’ accusers stoned him not for his excellent work but for claiming he was God, which he never did. As the Son of God and not God himself, they cannot understand and seek to seize him. This is precisely what the bible says: John 10:33-The Jews answered him, “We don’t stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God.” Jesus addresses them as gods “I said, you are gods.’ ‘All of you are children of the Most High”- Psalm 82:6. Notice the difference between God and god why the accusers cannot comprehend because they have itchy ears and no heart like Jesus to feed them the compassion of God and lack of respect to others.
Some opinions said Jesus was talking to angelic beings as gods and not to normal (flesh) people like us. Nebuchadnezzar considered himself a god who ought to be worshiped; Emperor Augustus, as the son of a god, declared himself a god. The Pharaoh was considered a god on earth, and Caligula believed himself to be a god; some of the Emperor of Rome was elevated to the level of the gods after their death. Job 1:6 In the Old Testament, as recorded — when Satan comes before God, it says, “The sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them” in other translations – (WEB) “Now on the day when God’s sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, Satan also came among them.” Please Note: “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all capitals).
” Angels are sons of God. The faithful believers are spiritual sons of God or popularly known as children of God. Once the believers receive, the glorious body after the final sanctification process, will be called sons of God or sons of the LORD. Adam, the son of God, is recorded in Luke 3:38, and Jesus Christ is the only Son of God. In Luke 1:35- the announcement, before the birth of Jesus, the angel tells Mary that her child “shall be called the Son of God.” In Luke 4:41 and Mark 3:11, when Jesus casts out demons, they declare, “You are the Son of God.”
Suppose there is a struggle to understand or hesitation to accept due to either confusion or doubts regarding who is the first son of God, Adam or Jesus? Paul and Luke made these contrasts about first Adam as a living soul and second Adam or the last Adam as the life-giving Spirit-1 Corinthians 15:45–49? When we encounter this hard-to-interpret scripture, do not just rely on the opinions of others, especially when more than one opinion. The rule of thumb for more than one opinion dictated by the Spirit is to search more and seek more for acceptable explanations confirmed by our hearts through the dictates of the Holy Spirit.
Job was a blameless and upright man who feared God and turned away from evil. When he struggles to understand the situation of his sufferings, He asks God, and the response makes him bow down with humility and repentance. When we need help, doubt, confusion, lack of knowledge and understanding, ASK! The Bible said Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. In this troubled world without God, who controls it, there will be no love and respect, pain and sufferings will never cease, joy will be nowhere to be found, but everyone who asks and call the name of the LORD receives—Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask and call on His name. Trust in his wisdom and character, and He will reveal Himself to you.
Remember:
“Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, or “LORD” (all in capital letters). Many, if not all, new versions of the Bible did some modifications to please people of influence; some modifications, huge congregations, have their own Bible to call their own. Men, in general term, means all gender is now gender specific. Names of Bible characters have been transliterated that includes Yehoshua, to Jesus. He died Yehoshua, and his name in the Book of Life will be Yehoshua, except if his name change has permission.
And Jesus isn’t going into any elaborate argument here about the meaning of this Psalm; he is simply using this text as a shrewd escape maneuver from being about to be stoned. They have just accused him of blasphemy because of calling himself the Son of God, and he deflects the accusation of blasphemy by calling attention to the fact that in the Psalms, the very term “sons of God” is used for beings less than God. And nobody accuses the psalmist or God himself of blasphemy, so back off.
The Bible shows clearly that the gospel that Jesus brought with him was teaching and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, the message of the Father that sent him, reconciliation with the Father after we had been separated due to Adam’s misstep in the garden, and healing all kinds of sickness and disease among the people. (Matthew 4:23). Every sickness and every disease among the people. (Matthew 9:35). His mission is not about Himself but the message of Salvation. Whosoever believes in him will be saved. Believe in what? To believe what the Father said.
In addition, Jesus went about all of Galilee. Moreover, Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing.
After John was imprisoned, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God and saying; that the time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel. (Mark 1:14-15). Jesus said to them. I must preach the kingdom of God to the other cities also, because, for this purpose, I have been sent (Luke 4:43)
Now it happened. Afterward, Jesus went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings [gospel] of the kingdom of God. (Luke 8:1)
The law and the prophets were until John. Since then, the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. In addition, it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one law title to fail. (Luke 16:16-17)
The inspired Word of God makes it abundantly plain: Jesus Christ brought the good news about the Kingdom of God! The gospel of Jesus Christ; is simply the message of the good news that Jesus preached, not a message about Jesus. It is not primarily a message about the events in His life and His becoming the world’s Savior.
Although it certainly includes all that. Nevertheless, if the events of His life are seen in a different context, the resulting faith will be full of error and ultimately disastrous! The announcement of good news, the best news that could be heard today, which the Father gave through Jesus Christ, is about His Kingdom. However, what is a kingdom? It is a nation with all its citizens, land, and laws ruled by a government.
In biblical usage, a kingdom can also mean a family from a single parent grown into a nation. A kingdom has four essential elements: 1) a king, supreme ruler, or governing agent; 2) territory, with its specific location and definite boundary lines; 3) subjects or citizens within that territorial jurisdiction; 4) and laws and a form of government through which the will of the ruler is exercised. If we ignore these essential elements, we will have a distorted faith that will not bring salvation. Next: Who Will Be King?
Disappointment is inevitable. But to become discouraged, there’s a choice I make. God would never discourage me. He would always point me to himself to trust him. Therefore, my discouragement is from Satan. As we go through our emotions, hostility is not from God, bitterness, forgiveness, all of these are attacks from Satan. Charles Stanley
