If Jesus Is Willing, The Father Is Too!

John 14:8-9

8 Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us."
9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
NKJV 

Mark 1:41

41 Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His hand and touched him, and said to him, "I am willing; be cleansed."

My Comments:

Throughout the Bible we read how Jesus went about healing the sick who came to Him in the course of his three-and-a-half year ministry in Israel. We see how He was moved with compassion for the people, and showed His willingness to heal them all. There was no exception, no bias in His ministering to the sick.

Some of us may have heard Christians tell us that if we just believed and came to God, He would heal us. But it's a reasonable assumption to say that some may entertain doubt, saying that "Jesus is Jesus, God is God. Just because Jesus was willing to heal does not mean that God is just as willing to heal"

Note how Jesus answered that question in His own way. When Philip, once of His disciples asked Him to show them the Father (that being God), his answer was simply this, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father."

By saying that, He was declaring this, "That what I do is what the Father does, If I am willing, He is too!" He goes on to establish that statement in v 10, where He said to them,

...The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. (John 14:10)

What Jesus did is what God did! If Jesus stretched out His hand to heal the sick, it was the Father in Him who stretched out His hand to heal! If Jesus was willing, it is because the Father is willing!

So when thoughts come flashing through your mind on whether God is willing to heal you of your sickness, refuse to entertain them! Just look to Jesus, and know that as He is willing to heal, the Father is willing to heal!
