The Healing Christ

In this passage we learn that Jesus' travels were not random but always with a purpose. We see that Jesus' healing ministry was a fulfillment of Messianic prophecy (Isa. 35:5-6). We also observe that Jesus' healing methods were varied. And we observe that the immediate and complete healing of this man rightly evoked the unqualified amazement and praise of the people. It is this same healing Christ who spiritually opens deaf ears to hear and understand the Gospel, and who loosens sin-paralyzed tongues to declare the praises of Christ.
