You know something, the first time Christ came, He came as a baby, completely vulnerable. He came full of grace and compassion towards the people. He healed people, opened the eyes of the blind, gave legs to the lame and paralysed, made lepers clean, He gave speech to the mute, healed the deaf, He fed the hungry and ultimately He demonstrated the greatest power - He raised the dead back to life!! This is unprecedented and unmatched. Christ has the power to give life to the dead because He has power over life and power over death. This means He is the source of life, the One from whom life comes. Hence He has the power to make the broken, the sick, the diseased, the hungry and the starved both living and dead whole.
Over and above and beyond all that, Christ paid for the very reason, the very reason why everything that's born on earth has to die. He paid for the "sin" (papam) of one and every man and woman once and for all, by offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice on the cross.
This is the Gospel - the Good News - for the whole world, for every people of every tribe, language, nation, no matter where they are. It is the Good News of salvation.
This same Jesus, healed members of our family, of limbs that were twisted were restored of my cousin-in-law, of my father when he was admitted to hospital, Christ healed him! Jesus Christ did several other miracles in our family lives. That was what He did two thousand years ago, that is what He's doing even right now. We know many members in our church who were once worshipping all kinds of "gods", and had sicknesses of different kinds. The doctors couldn't help, the gods couldn't help but when they called upon Jesus, He healed them. Hence they recognised Christ as the True and Living One, gave their lives to Him and started to come to our church. The evidence is there for all to see.
"You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you," says the Living God. Jeremiah 29:13.
