What DID Jesus DO?

You know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached—how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.  Acts 10:37-38

The question used to be asked: "What would Jesus DO?"

I believe the answer lies in what Jesus actually DID.

Wherever He went, He did good.  What good?  Miraculous good.

Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them.

Matthew 4:23-24  NIV

1. Preaching

2. Teaching

3. Healing

4. Liberating

These are the good things Jesus did wherever He went.

He proclaimed the good news of the Kingdom of God:  that God's kingdom had indeed returned--by His very presence and the presence of the Spirit of God.  God was (and is) with those who believe, and will be with all who believe.  He also taught the ways of the kingdom of God, the means by which God's kingdom and will are to be done on earth as in heaven.

What better news is there than this--if it was true...

BUT IT REALLY WAS TRUE!  How do we know?

In heaven there is no sickness.  Therefore, Jesus cured all who came to Him or were brought to Him.

Christ cast Satan and the demons out of heaven.  Thus when they were in men and women, Jesus cast them out. 

Now we should know the answer to the question, "What would Jesus do?"  And indeed, for those who believe, we should do likewise.

Christians should preach and teach the Kingdom of God, and demonstrate the truth of God's kingdom by healing the sick and casting out demons--by supernatural power.  With power the proclamation of God's kingdom is made.  The Spirit of Christ is on earth.  Where the Spirit is, the kingdom of God is.

We know what Jesus did, therefore we know what Jesus would do in every situation, as it is written,

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." 

What He did is what He still does, and what He will do for all who will believe in Him.
