We know Jesus heals today through faith in His completed work and the testimonies of those who have experienced His transformative power.
The assurance of Jesus' ongoing healing today is rooted in faith and the historical accounts of His miracles. Throughout the New Testament, Jesus not only healed physical ailments but also restored people spiritually, which reflects the holistic nature of His ministry. The Gospel of Mark emphasizes the crowds who sought to touch Jesus, believing in His power to heal (Mark 6:55). This faith was not based merely on knowledge but on a deep conviction of who Jesus is—the Healer.
Moreover, in John 5:40, Jesus invites us to come to Him for life. This invitation remains applicable; today, believers recognize that through prayer and faith, they can experience healing and restoration. The body of Christ, the Church, continues to be a vessel through which Jesus' healing touches lives, encouraging believers to share their testimonies, much like those in Gennesaret who brought the sick to Him.
