Authority Over Diseases

03 30 Luke 4.38-44 Jesus continues to show others that He is the Messiah by substantiating His claims through the healing of diseases.  But the greatest miracle is the healing of our spiritual disease caused by sin.  He came not to heal physical abnormalities.  That was just a means to an end.  He came to proclaim the good news that He is the Messiah.  His miracles proved it.  Has He touched your life?
