On Sunday, February 26, 2023, VLC gathered in person which was also broadcasted online via YouTube. Pastor Stuart Nice continued our series “A Closer Walk with Jesus.” Today, we learn about Jesus’ subsequent miracles of healing and delivering people from demonic oppression. In this passage, Jesus is revealed as God’s son and by faith, people came to him to have their needs met. Those who saw Jesus for who he was were healed, delivered, and empowered to share the good news of Jesus.
Then He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon’s home. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him to help her. And standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and served them.
Now while the sun was setting, all those who had any who were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He was laying His hands on each one of them and healing them. Demons also were coming out of many, shouting, “You are the Son of God!” And yet He was rebuking them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ.
Luke 4:38-41 (NASB)
