I. Christ is able to cure all sorts of sins. Lover of lust, dropsy of drunkenness, stone in the heart, etc.
II. Christ healed incurable sinners-people who had diseases which were beyond the physicians’ skill. There is hope for incurable sinners.
III. Jesus healed diseases from all countries, and so He can heal sinners of all lands (vers. 24, 25). He is able to save without any distinction of race, or clime, or time, or place.
IV. Jesus Christ healed sinners without any limitation in numbers-“multitudes.” Christ is as able to save a multitude as to save one.
V. He received nothing for all that He did, except the fame, and the honour, and the gratitude of their loving hearts. So to-day, poor sinner, Jesus will take nothing at thy hands, and it is a mercy for thee, for thou hast nothing to give. (C. H. Spurgeon.)
Healing for all
I remember, when the Master Street Hospital, in Philadelphia, was opened during the war, a telegram came saying, “There will be three hundred wounded men tonight; be ready to take care of them;” and from my church there went in some twenty or thirty men and women to look after these poor wounded fellows. As they came, some from one part of the land, some from another, no one asked whether this man was from Oregon, or from Massachusetts, or from Minnesota, or from New York. There was a wounded soldier, and the only question was how to take off the rags the most gently, and put on the bandage, and administer the cordial. And when a soul comes to God, he does not ask where you came from, or what your ancestry was. Healing for all your wounds. Pardon for all your guilt. Comfort for all your troubles. (Dr. Talmage.)
