Luke 4

Jesus heals… spiritually, mentally and physically. 

Just B.E.L.I.E.V.E. There is healing in His wings! 

Ask and you will receive. Knock and the door will be opened, Seek and you will find.

Jesus proclaimed the acceptable year of the Lord, an allusion to Jubilee. This was every fiftieth year, in which all debt was forgiven, slaves were given their freedom, and ancestral lands were given back to its original family. The Year of Jubilee allowed for a new start. Jesus offers a total cancellation of spiritual debt and a new beginning to those who respond to His message. Jesus’ authority over evil forces is clear. He possessed the authority and power to grant salvation, as well as to confront all opponents to it. The fact that Simon’s mother-in-law served her guests immediately indicates that her recovery from fever was instantaneous.

Luke 4:18-19

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,

Because He has anointed Me

To preach the gospel to the poor;

He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,

To proclaim liberty to the captives

And recovery of sight to the blind,

To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

¹⁹ To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”

Luke 4:35-36

³⁵ But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him in their midst, it came out of him and did not hurt him. ³⁶ Then they were all amazed and spoke among themselves, saying, “What a word this is! For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out.” 

Luke 4:38-39

³⁸ Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon’s house. But Simon’s wife’s mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her. ³⁹ So He stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. And immediately she arose and served them.

⁵ The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 

Matthew 11:5

³⁴ For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure. 

John 3:34

¹⁵ So He touched her hand, and the fever left her. And she arose and served them. 

Matthew 8:15

²³ and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” 

Mark 5:23

Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed. Immediately the leprosy left him. 

Luke 5:13
