Luke 4:40,41 “Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto Him; and He laid His hands on them, and healed them. And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying 'Thou art Christ the Son of God.' And He rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that He was Christ.”
I read this passage and was reminded of the different areas of the New Testament where Jesus would perform a miracle, or heal someone, then tell them not to talk about it or tell anyone who He was. Why would He do that?
Again, I was reminded that we are to look for Christ with our Spiritual eyes, not our physical eyes.
Jesus did not want the celebrity that came with the performing of miracles. He wanted to heal the sick, remove unclean spirits, and to sacrifice Himself for us. He was not looking for a BFF, or His own “Reality” show, unlike so many “preachers” on TV today. He was here for us and to save us.
And He did just that!
