THE PROCLAMATION OF THE GOSPEL TAKES PRIORITY OVER MIRACLES

MAIN IDEAS

• JESUS went to the synagogues of Galilee to preach the good news of the KINGDOM OF GOD to the people.

• Although people were impressed by His teaching, most of them came because they wanted to be healed physically.

• Freeing people from evil spirits and healing their bodies is a testimony to God’s power and a confirmation of the preaching of the KINGDOM.

• With faith and a sincere heart, healings are very accessible.

• JESUS explains that His main mission is preaching the Gospel for the salvation of people and getting them into the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

Many people came to Him and received His teachings about the Kingdom, and this brought great joy to JESUS. The proclamation of the KINGDOM OF GOD was His priority while healing and the removal of demons were the benefits of men’s faith and proof of the manifestation of God’s power. The demons from which people were freed recognized JESUS as the Son of God and respected His authority over the spiritual world, but JESUS did not accept the acclaim of the demons. In the towns where people believed that JESUS was the Son of God and were enthusiastically receiving the good news of the KINGDOM, there were always more miracles than in places where people treated Him with skepticism. Unfortunately, religious authorities contributed greatly to the blurring of faith and the dampening of people’s enthusiasm for JESUS and for His teaching. In this context of miracles, JESUS again clarifies that His priority is the preaching of the KINGDOM OF GOD. It is important for us today to understand that our reconciliation with GOD and living the Biblical Word should be the priority in our own lives. By making it a priority to solve the spiritual problems of your life, you may also experience the healing and the solving of problems of earthly life. When you enter into God’s will spiritually, God will set in motion situations in your life to get you closer to Him.
