Healing and miracles were an important part of the ministry of Jesus. Jesus spent a lot of time traveling by foot from town to town, finding people who were sick, afflicted and oppressed from a wide variety of causes and healing them. Not only was each healing an act of compassion and a foreshadowing of the greater healing to come, each miracle was testimony from God that Jesus is the Christ.
Every time Jesus heals someone it reminds us that he has the power to rescue us from death. A physically sick person or a demon-possessed comes to Jesus and is made well. That is tangible, visible evidence that a spiritually sick person who comes to Jesus will also be made well.
