Hospitals are not needed if Jesus can heal the sick?
You cannot reach the destination where you want to go unless you get into any bus, even if one thousand buses are parked in a bus station. The success is confident for a hard working student. What is the use in regretting for the failure in studies because of laziness and drowsiness! We can enjoy a particular program in the radio only when we tune it to that particular wavelength and frequency.
What is thereason there is no water in the house, inspite of having continuous rain? The rainwater was not carefully collected. Similarly, Jesus will never leave nor forsake the one who trusts in Him. He said, “I will not leave you nor forsake you (Josh 1:5). The Bible teaches that whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame (Rom 10:11, Is 28:16). God has told commonly to all, “Ask and that will be given (Mat 7:7). Jesus promised, “If you believe, you will see the glory of God” (Jn 11:40). The people of His own village could not inherit any miracle, because they did not believe in Him (Mat 13:58).
The inner side of a stone is still dry even after socking it for many years in water. Why? The hardness is the only reason. An artist looks at a wooden piece as an aesthetic art. But the same wooden peace is seen as firewood in the sight of a woman who went to the forest to collect firewood. Jesus was useless for the people, who looked at Jesus like a carpenter. Those who found Jesus as the Son of God, received miracles. Consider that one preacher is disseminating the gospel in the street corner. One listener is mocking at the preacher. The other one received the word with full heart and was delivered from his sinful life. For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them, but the word, which they heard, did not profit them, not being mixed with faith to those who heard it (Heb 4:2). Two men are receiving their wages from a factory. One man extravagantly spends all his money in drinking and gets into sickness and at last he dies. But the other man builds a new house and purchases a vehicle within that money. Money becomes a poison to one man, and a ladder that lifts the life to the other man. Can we denounce money? The matter is contained in how we look at the money.
Similarly, Jesus is a good God for all. He told. “I will by no means cast out the one who comes to Me (Jn 6:37). How sweet is Jesus who says, “I am the Good Shepherd: The Good Shepherd gives His life for His sheep (Jn 10:11). Jesus also says, “You do not believe, because you are not of My sheep (Jn 10:26). We must obey to him for He should convert the water into wine (Jn 2:5). He commanded the servants to fill the jars with water. They obeyed with faith. They did not interrogate and argue. When Jesus came near the tomb of Lazarus, and asked those who were near, to remove the stone kept to close the tomb, they obeyed with anticipation. By seeing their faith, Lazarus was resurrected. Elisha told Naman to dip himself into the river of Jordan 7 times. He was not healed till
he was questioning and hesitating. The miracle took place when he obeyed. I can quote hundreds of examples from the scripture Jesus cannot do any miracles in the lives of people who keep the name of Jesus in the list of leaders like Buddha and Gandhi. He is more than a leader. We cannot receive anything from Jesus unless you understand Him as the sovereign God. When Jesus was living in the world in flesh, many mocked at Him as mad (Jn 10:20). But how they might have looked at Him, when he resurrected the dead daughters of the widow of the city of Nain! After the resurrection of Jesus, the disciples were walking on the road to Emmans. Jesus was also along with them without their knowledge. He was misunderstood as a sojourner to them. But when their eyes were opened, they know Him as the Lord (Lk 23:31). In the same way, let us know Jesus more and be uplifted. He who trusts in the Lord will be prospered (Prov 28:25). Please read (Heb 11:6).
