JESUS CARES



YES, YES, YES.
Jesus turned water into wine at least once.
Yes,
Jesus stilled the storms a couple of times.
Yes,
Jesus gave the fishermen miraculous
hauls of fish at least twice.
Yes,
Jesus feed about 5000 men and their
families once and about 4000 men and
their fames once.
Yes,
Jesus raised dead people to life
at least three times.

But where was Jesus real concern?

"A huge crowd kept following him
wherever he went, because they saw
his miraculous signs as he healed
the sick."
(John 6:2 NLT)

"Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped
from the boat, and he had compassion 
on them and healed their sick."
(Matthew 14:14 NLT)

In the Gospels we read about ten times
that Jesus "had compassion" on them.
And again in the Gospels we read about
thirty-five times that Jesus healed them.

Jesus cares about people.  He cares about
our hurts, our sickness and our problems.
That is why he died for us.
JESUS CARES ABOUT US.

Remember;
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,
today and forever."
(Hebrews 13:8 NLT)
And;
"By his wounds you are healed."
(1 Peter 2:24 NLT)

Jesus seems to have special concern for 
our sickness and problems.

King Asa was a great king.  But in his
latter years he messed up.

"in the thirty-ninth year of his reign,
Asa developed a serious foot disease.
Yet even with the severity of his disease,
he did not seek the LORD'S help but
turned only to his physicians."
(2 Chronicles 16:12 NLT)

Yes,
I had a deathly sickness.  About a dozen
doctors looked me over and I have been 
in the hospital four times,

BUT IT WAS JESUS WHO HEALED ME.

The doctors efforts helped me stay alive longer,
but it was Jesus who had to give me direction
apart from the doctors for healing.

Look to Jesus first.
He cared enough about you to die for you
and he wants to heal your problem now.
