Does Jesus heal today?
Think very carefully before you answer this question.

I can only think that we are no different today than people were 2000 years ago when Jesus walked the streets of Jerusalem. Many didn’t understand about the same issues even when He was walking in their midst. Yet Jesus’ response to Jairus in Mark is no different than what I think He would answer today.
While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher any more?”
Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” (Mark 5:35-37).
When we are confronted with all the issues that come to our minds about prayers for healing, perhaps “Don’t be afraid; just believe” is the most common response we could expect.
