Today let's read Luke 5:12-26.
I've got a question for you to ponder, and ask God about... Why did Jesus heal and cast out demons? It was obviously a major part of His ministry, and we've now read about 5 different stories of healing and spiritual freedom. Look closely at each one and pray that God will show you why He performed those miracles.

Physical healing seems to be connected to spiritual healing throughout the Bible, and verse 24 suggests that it was done so that the people would know Jesus has the "authority on earth to forgive sins." I think that Jesus was trying to nurture faith through his miracles and show authority both in the miracles and the casting out of demons. Addtionally, Psalm 103:3 states that the Lord "forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases," but most believers today still have trouble having faith that Jesus can heal them physically.
