How do we know that Christ has the power to heal us?

Answered in 1 source

Christ demonstrates His divine authority to heal not just physical ailments but also the greater disease of sin, as evidenced in the cleansing of the leper.

The leper's cry, 'Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean,' reflects a deep understanding of Christ's sovereign power (Luke 5:12-13). In this instance, the leper recognizes that only Jesus has the authority to heal, showcasing not only His ability but His willing nature to cleanse those who come to Him in faith. The miracle serves as a type and shadow of the greater reality of spiritual healing that Christ offers. Just as Christ was willing to touch the leper, He offers His grace to sinners, illustrating that no sin is beyond His forgiving reach.
