23:19 - POINT3 : CHRIST’S AUTHORITY OVER SIN AND ITS CONSEQUENCES
Jesus exercised authority over nature, demons, sicknesses and death during His earthly ministry. In our text, He healed the Centurion’s servant; at Nain, He raised the only son of a widow from death and at Simon, the Pharisee’s house, He granted gracious pardon to an unworthy, penitent sinner. These miracles and many others recorded in the Bible prove His Lordship.
These signs and wonders attracted multitudes to Him. The divine purpose of Jesus is to enable people believe in Him and be saved (John 20:30,31). Believers need to realize that we have been commissioned with the mandate to evangelize the world. And when we are endued with the power of the Holy Ghost, it accelerates the presence and possibility of signs and wonders accompanying our evangelistic missions.
This ultimately opens doors for more souls to be brought into the Kingdom. The consequence of sin includes sickness and death, which are greatest enemies of humanity. Jesus offered His precious blood to deliver man from sin and its deadly consequences. All those who come to Him in genuine repentance are saved from sin. His stripes provide healing for all manner of sicknesses and diseases. He delivers the oppressed and quickens the dead (Isaiah 53:5).
