"Healing is central to the Gospel, not peripheral." Randy Clark
Today we talked about the ministry of Jesus in preaching and demonstrating the Gospel of the Kingdom. Healing the sick, opening blind eyes, raising the dead and cleansing those with leprosy were events that demonstrated that the Kingdom of God was "at hand" and had come to them. Jesus "co-missioned" us to go in His authority and in our identity as royal sons and daughters of God and preach the same Gospel of the Kingdom, demonstrating it with signs and wonders. Our key texts were: Matthew 1:21, Luke 8:36, Mark 6:56, Luke 7:21-22, Matthew 8:16, Luke 6:19, Luke 8:46, Mark 1:14-14, Romans 14:17-18, Mark 16:15-18, John 14:12-14. Enjoy!
