Produktbeschreibung

The healing ministry of Christ is one of the central aspects of His earthly mission, as revealed in the Gospels. The miracles of healing not only serve as acts of compassion but also as signs of the in-breaking of God's Kingdom, which had come near in the person of Jesus. Throughout the Gospel narratives, Christ's healings are numerous, encompassing physical, emotional, and spiritual restoration. These acts of healing reveal profound theological truths and establish the foundation for the Church's continuing ministry of healing in the world.

In the Gospel of Matthew, we see a pivotal moment when Christ declares the purpose of His ministry, quoting the prophet Isaiah: "He took our infirmities and bore our diseases" (Matthew 8:17, quoting Isaiah 53:4). This statement underscores the significance of Christ's healing power: it is not merely an expression of His compassion, but a fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. In Christ, the fulfillment of the Old Testament promise is realizedthe servant who would heal Israel's spiritual and physical wounds. By healing the sick, casting out demons, and forgiving sins, Jesus was inaugurating the restoration of humanity, setting the stage for His redemptive work on the cross.
