Scripture reveals six noteworthy characteristics of Jesus' healing ministry (in contrast to those who profess miraculous healings today): 1. Jesus healed with a word or a touch… There were no theatrics, no special environment. 2. Jesus healed instantly… People often say, 'I've been healed, and now I'm getting better.' Jesus never did 'progressive' healing. If Jesus had not healed instantly, there would have been no miraculous element sufficient to demonstrate His deity. His critics could easily have said the healing was just a natural process. 3. Jesus healed totally… There was no recuperation period. 4. Jesus healed everyone. Unlike healers today, Jesus did not leave long lines of disappointed people who had to return home in their wheelchairs. He did not leave healing services or programs that ended at a certain time because of airline or television schedules. 5. Jesus healed organic disease. Jesus did not go up and down Palestine healing lower back pain, heart palpitations, headaches, and other invisible ailments. He healed the most obvious kinds of organic disease – crippled legs, withered hands, bind eyes, palsy – all healings that were undeniably miraculous. 6. Jesus raised the dead… People who tout the gift of healing today do not spend much time in funeral parlors, funeral processions, or cemeteries.
