When Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law and ministered to the crowds, addressing both physical and spiritual sickness, He was fulfilling the ancient prophecy of Isaiah: "He took our illnesses and bore our diseases." These miraculous healings serve as a testament to Jesus' ability to shoulder every burden we bring to Him. Jesus can do more than sympathize with our troubles; Jesus has the power to take our sins and burdens to the cross and abolish them. Matthew 8:14-17 presents Jesus as our ultimate healer.
