Some people may be attracted to Jesus because they believe He will heal them, make them prosperous, or save them from suffering. Jesus Himself, however, made it clear that the material and bodily benefits that accrued from His ministry were not what mattered most. Alistair Begg draws our attention to two miraculous healings and examines how Jesus emphasized the recipients’ need for spiritual restoration as well as physical renewal.
