The Bible's promise of healing

Christ-healing is for all time.

Kevin G. Graunke

Of All The Bible's many promises, there's one that continues to become sweeter and more substantial to me: "These signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover" (Mark 16:17, 18).

The foundation of this promise is the scientific method by which Jesus was able to heal the physical and moral problems of the people who came to him during his ministry.

Jesus encouraged his followers to understand that they also could be healers. He told them, "Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world" (Matt. 28:20). I accept these promises as assurances we can embrace today, since Jesus pledged them to every believer.
