Go And Tell - Matthew 11:4-6

Matthew 11:4-6 ESV 

And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see:
the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.”

These healing miracles speak of two things. Individuals at that time received the physical healings as recorded. They also foreshadow another kind of healing, a more important healing of a person. 

These healings point to the broader healings that would come to the many who would believe. We are given eyes and ears that are able to behold the Lord. We are now able to walk with the Lord. We have been raised from the dead into the life of God. 

We have received the good news and were not offended, but with joy and in praise of His name we sing the song of the saved. 

What less can we do than to go and tell.
