Jesus Heals because He Cares

Why did Jesus heal every person who asked for healing? Jesus healed out of deep compassion.

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

How should we understand Jesus' deep compassion? In the original Greek text, the word is ``splagchnisthḗsomai‘’.

What does that mean?

The suffering of the sick aroused such compassion in Jesus that his stomach turned.

Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him. Mt 20:34 NASB95

Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

As soon as He had spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. Mk 1:40–42 NKJV

God is love. Jesus came as the Son of God to reveal God's character.

God never changes.

And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Ac 10:38 NLT

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Heb 13:8 NLT

If you or someone you love is tormented with sickness, Jesus is moved with deep compassion.

Don't be misled by cold theological theories.

Jesus wants to heal you.
