Читать книгу He's a Healing Jesus - Richard Roberts - Страница 3

Picture yourself in a room, alone and feeling isolated. You’re sick in some way, whether it’s physically, emotionally, in your relationships, in your finances, or in some other area of your life. And perhaps you’ve been that way for quite awhile, like the woman in the Bible who had suffered from a hemorrhage for twelve years. She had spent all of her money on doctors and they’d done what they could do, but Luke 8:43 says that in spite of all that, she “could not be healed by any” of them.

Now…picture Jesus knocking on the door of the room you’re in and coming inside. He sees you. He knows all about your needs. And He calls your name as He stretches out His strong and loving arms toward you, putting His hand on Your shoulder as you look into His eyes of love and compassion.

As you imagine that scene with Jesus standing next to you, picture Him saying to you, as He said to many when He walked this earth, “What do you want Me to do for you?” With courage and faith in your heart, you answer Him, “Lord, I want to be healed.”

Now let me ask you a very important question: If the scene above actually happened to you as you’ve just pictured it in your imagination, is there any real question in your mind that Jesus would heal you?

If your answer to that question is, “No, Richard, there’s no doubt in my mind that Jesus would heal me if He were right here with me,” I want you to know that I’ve written this book for you…to show you how Jesus is right there with you, in the midst of what you’re going through, every step of the way.

And if the answer to that question is, “Richard, I don’t know if Jesus would heal me”…or maybe “Why would Jesus want to heal me?” then I’ve written this book especially for you. To paint a picture for you of the Jesus I know from His own revelation of Himself in the Holy Bible…the healing Jesus…the One who never turned anyone away who came to Him for healing…and who, you can be assured, will not turn you away either.

I’m excited to share with you in this book, perhaps more excited than I’ve been in a long time. Because I know that many people don’t know who the real Jesus is. Their understanding of Him may be based on what other people have incorrectly told them, on some fairy-tale-like image of Jesus that they may have seen portrayed in certain movies, or on the sometimes un-Christlike behavior of those who call themselves Jesus’ followers.

But I believe that once you read this book and begin to see for yourself what Jesus is really like—perhaps more clearly than you’ve ever seen before—you’ll fall in love with the real Jesus. You’ll know that Jesus truly is a healing Jesus…you’ll begin to see yourself in the light that He sees you…and you’ll understand that He wants you to be well in every area of your life.

Many times when a book is written, it is dedicated to someone in the author’s family or personal life…and I have done that in other books I have written. But this book is different. This book I dedicate to you, my friend, whom I already see in my spirit as being the way Jesus wants you to be, and the way I believe you can be…healed and whole.
