The Ministries of Jesus Week 4
Healing
Robert Morris
We’re in a series called The Ministries of Jesus
We’ve covered Salvation, Mending, Freedom, and now Healing
Mending was emotional; This week is spiritual and physical healing
Luke 4:18
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind”
Recovery of sight to the blind.
“The gaining of sight”
The reason I want to put these together is because the Bible does
Let me show you the opening of spiritual and physical eyes
Mark 8:22
Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him.
Mark 8:23
So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town.
And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.
Mark 8:24
And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.”
Mark 8:25
Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up.
And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.
I heard a person on TV say,
“You see, even with Jesus it didn’t always work the first time!”
I knew that was wrong, so I decided I was going to figure it out.
After 3 hours, the Lord spoke to me and said, “What are you doing?”
“I’m trying to figure this out with no help from you I might add!”
He said, “Do you think I know what it means?”
I said, “Of course you do.”
He said, “Then why don’t you just ask me.”
So, I did, and the answer was there immediately!
Jesus laid his hands on him and asked him what he saw.
Jesus opened his spiritual eyes!
In the Bible, men are likened to trees in the spiritual.
Psalm 1:1
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
Psalm 1:2
but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night.
Psalm 1:3
He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water
Psalm 52:8
But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God
Psalm 92:12
The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree
Jeremiah 17:7
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.
Jeremiah 17:8
For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters”
Zechariah 4:11
Then I answered and said to him, “What are these two olive trees—at the right of the lampstand and at its left?”
Zechariah 4:14
So he said, “These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth.”
Zechariah saw olive trees, but they were men!
Revelation 11:3
“And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
Revelation 11:4
These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.
Jesus put his hands on him and asked him if he saw anything
He opened his spiritual eyes first, and then his physical eyes!
What have I told you about understanding scripture?
Read the context.
He had just fed 4000 people.
Then the Pharisees asked for a sign!
Talk about spiritual blindness!
Mark 8:13
And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side.
Mark 8:14
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.
Mark 8:15
Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
Mark 8:16
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have no bread.”
Mark 8:17
But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread?
Do you not yet perceive nor understand?
Is your heart still hardened?
Mark 8:18
Having eyes, do you not see?
And having ears, do you not hear?
And do you not remember?
Mark 8:19
When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?”
They said to Him, “Twelve.”
Mark 8:20
“Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?"
And they said, “Seven.”
Mark 8:21
So He said to them, “How is it you do not understand?”
If I wanted bread, I’d just whip us some up! (1 loaf and 13 dudes!)
I meant beware of the teaching of the Pharisees!
We need our spiritual eyes opened!
You have eyes but you can’t see! Men have “eyes but they can’t see!”
Women can see better than men.
My wife can find clothes in a closet that aren’t there.
I’ll ask Debbie where my black shirt with the snaps is
She told me, “You have eyes, but you can’t see!”
No! You’re a voodoo woman!
I said I “love you woman!”
Would you like your spiritual eyes opened?
Would you like for the Bible to jump off the page to you?
