Healing people is a science, not an art…

People who are sick need to go to a doctor or a hospital. Not to a shady charlatan, someone who can heal by saying magic words? There is an expression, “Words have power.” Does that mean something changes when you say it out loud? Can you heal a person just by speaking? I cannot easily imagine something like this. We need medicine or a medical operation to be healed. Just speaking to someone doesn’t change your physical condition, does it?

Although when you speak kind words to someone, this can change their day. Reading a book to a child can give a very safe and warm feeling. Words make some difference at least.

From Jesus’ life, we learn that his words have more power. He refers to his father, God, who spoke words and the earth was created! We cannot imagine it, but that is what Jesus was thinking about when he refers to this.

In Jesus’ days, some sick people went to a 'magic pool' to be healed. Every day the first person who would enter the water would be healed. To us this is unbelievable, but back in those days people really believed in that power. In this story, one man is always too late because he has trouble walking. He never gets healed. But then he meets Jesus, who is filled with compassion and heals the man. Not by magic water but just by speaking words of power over him.

For today, we need to know that Jesus still has the same power. His words can do miracles. That is why Christians pray. They ask Jesus to speak His word of life over them. You too can speak to Jesus and ask him to say words to you that change your life. And then watch to see the miracles he does.
