Bible Stories About Healing
Jesus healed people everywhere He went, and the prophets before Him saw God heal too. But no two healings in the Bible happen the same way. One man is lowered through a roof. One woman reaches for a hem. One general has to wash in a muddy river seven times.
These stories show a God who sees each person, and who cares about the whole person, not just the illness.
“He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”
