And when Jesus entered Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever; he touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she rose and served him. That evening they brought to him many who were possessed with demons; and he cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, "He took our infirmities and bore our diseases." Matthew 8:14–17 (RSV)
Of course, Jesus would heal Peter's mother-in-law with a simple touch of his hand. Do we expect anything less of Jesus? Indeed, the many who came to Peter's house that night came with that expectation. Everyone who came was healed, to the joy and thanksgiving of those afflicted.
I would not begrudge anyone of Jesus' healing touch. Our family prayed for that healing touch when Kacie Grace was ill with an infection in her brain. Sickness and disease unsettle us as it is a reminder that we all will one day be afflicted by something that will end our lives.
It is because of this, the words that Matthew quotes from Isaiah are central to our hopes. Yes, the Father has sent His Son to heal the sick, give sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, and raise Lazarus, Jairus' daughter and the widow of Nain's son from the dead. We can see that same healing power in those whom God has given the gift of healing in the wonders of modern medicine.
Thankfully, God's healing does not end with our physical, emotional, and spiritual diseases. Jesus has come to take the disease of sin and death upon Himself. When our Lord calls us forth from death into eternal life, our final, complete healing is to come.
