Great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all. Matt. 12:15
ALL in the Greek means: “each and every one.”
Why did Jesus do this... and every other miracle including calming the storm, and walking on water? Well, why do you think? TO PROVE WHO HE WAS !!!
And Who was He? He was God! And God is Love! So the question is really...”Why wouldn’t He?”
God the Son, Jehovah (2nd Person of the Trinity) as the Son of God (Jesus) presented Himself as Israel’s Messiah... THEIR King, to establish the Kingdom (Davidic Covenant). But what did the Jews (and the world) do? “We will not have this man to rule over us. Crucify Him!” John 19:15.
Can we expect miracles today?
Well, consider this... Jesus is SEATED! ...The LORD (Jehovah) said to my Lord (Adon), "Sit at My
right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool.” Psalm 110:1
The Jews, as a nation,
to this day do not believe this Gospel. That is not the Gospel Jesus preached
to them during His earthly ministry. He preached the Gospel of the Kingdom
(Davidic) Matt. 4:23, And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues, preaching the GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, and healing all kinds of
sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.
He was their prophesied
Messiah, but they crucified Him instead. And so then, after His resurrection, with Israel still denying and refusing their Messiah, Jesus diverts from the
Jews and sends Paul to the Gentiles with the Gospel of Grace. So... what’s the
difference?
First and foremost is that Jesus had to fulfill Old Testament
prophecy to Israel concerning the promised Messiah. Even though the crucifixion
was foretold, Jesus could have still and would have been Israel’s Messiah King after His resurrection, IF they would receive Him. But they did not. God temporarily turns His back on
Israel, destroys the Temple, and scatters the Jews into every other nation, and
devastates the land. The Jews have only returned to Israel since 1948. Another
prophecy fulfilled.
