And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick. Matthew 14:14

 

One thing Jesus did throughout His life was perform miracles by healing people He met. The bible records many instances of His healing power, but the truth is He healed thousands of people over the course of His travels. Why? Not for fame, not to show proof that He is God’s Son, but because He had compassion for people. God’s love for His creation, mankind, is the main reason for sending Jesus to interact with people and save them from their sins.

 

That same compassion for people should be carried out through His people, you and me! As a child of God, you have the Holy Spirit living inside you. Your heart should feel His Spirit prompting you to help others in need. Just like in biblical days, there is a great multitude of people within the reaches of YOUR influence. Are you touching their lives with the healing power of God?

 

…for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, “Move from here to there”, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. Matthew 17:20

 

You might not feel worthy of God’s power working through you or have belief it can happen, but it can. Jesus stated in Matthew 17:20 that if you have the faith of a mustard seed, you can move mountains. That seems impossible, but with God’s help anything is possible. The key ingredient is your faith, if you are willing to use it to accomplish the will of God.

 

There is a great multitude of people out there, just waiting to experience the compassion and love of Jesus Christ. It’s up to you to show them that love that was shown you through God’s great grace and mercy. Show them the light that shines bright in your life and help the sick and needy experience your loving, compassionate Savior! God bless!
