Christ heals through His divine authority and by His word.
In the narrative of Luke 4, Christ demonstrates His power over sickness by rebuking fevers and laying hands on the sick, healing them with a word. This illustrates that His healing is not simply physical but spiritual. Christ, as our great physician, provides healing not only by addressing our physical ailments but also by imparting spiritual life through the Gospel. Therefore, when sickness strikes, it serves as a catalyst for turning our hearts and minds towards Christ, illustrating that He is the source of our righteousness and holiness. His healing encompasses both our physical and spiritual well-being, teaching us that His authority and the power of His word are effective in healing all forms of affliction.
