HEALING

In 4:38 and 39 we have the record of the Lord's healing of Simon's mother-in-law, who had been seized with a high fever. This fever may signify a person's unbridled temper, abnormal and intemperate.

Luke 4:40 says, "And when the sun was set ting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases, brought them to Him; and lay ing His hands on each one of them, He healed them." Sickness is an issue of sin and a sign of man's abnormal condition before God because of sin. Therefore, in His ministry the Man-Savior healed the sick condition of people both physi cally and spiritually in order to restore them to normal so that they might serve Him.

PREACHING

In addition to teaching, casting out demons, and healing the sick, the Lord was also "preach ing in the synagogues of Judea" (4:44). The Man- Savior's preaching was to announce God's glad tidings to miserable people in bondage (v. 43). His teaching enlightened the ignorant ones in

darkness with the divine light of the truth. His preaching implied teaching, and His teaching implied preaching.
