“Jesus the Great Physician” by Bill Herald


He answered and said, “Whether he be a sinner or not, I know not, one thing I know that, were as I was blind now I see” and he said “Lord, I believe” and he worshiped him.  John 9:25

The unnamed man, blind from birth, told the people how he received his sight.  What a beautiful picture this is of all who have received Christ and now have the privilege of telling others about Christ.  How could we not want to share this kind of news?  We take so much for granted-our sight, our hearing, our health and, sadly, sometimes our salvation.

Many at that time didn’t believe in Jesus. But the blind man said, “One thing I know I once was blind but now I see.” Praise the Lord that this man was changed by the saving power of Jesus. Praise also that he was willing to share his relationship with Jesus. Are we so willing?

Verily, verily I say unto you, he that hears and believes on him that sent me hath everlasting life. John 5:24

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching and preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.  When Jesus saw the crowds, he had compassion on them.

Brothers and Sisters when we are exposed to the healing power of the Lord, something happens, either our eyes are opened and we see the Light as the blind man, or we remain blind by staying in the darkness away from God.  The word of God has life changing power that changed the chief sinner (Saul changed to Paul).  Don’t feel like you are too far gone living in sin that you can’t be forgiven.  Grace is so much more than we can understand, through Jesus death on the cross all of our sins are cast “as far as east is to the west.” Ps 103:12

For God did not send his son into the world to condemn it, but to SAVE it! John 3:1.
