Jesus Loves You No Matter What!

Repent and believe in the gospel.

Mark 1:15

People flocked to Jesus as he listened to their needs and offered them the healing power of his Father. Jesus came to earth to teach repentance, to love and forgive, and to heal mind, body, and spirit. He always showed compassion and concern for those who were suffering as he healed on the Sabbath, he healed pagans and he healed the right ear of a soldier who arrested him. Jesus didn’t require anything from the people he healed. He didn’t check to see if they were good enough or holy enough. And he encouraged his disciples to do the same: “Without cost you have received; without cost you are to give” (Mathew 10:8).

Jesus’ ways are not our ways… Because healing is God’s work and not ours, healing of any kind is a gift that God gives to people according to his wisdom and plan. Jesus can heal the deepest wounds in your heart so that you can love again. Jesus can heal your darkest sin so that you can forgive yourself and find the grace to be just as forgiving toward people around you.
