Healing the sick was a sign of the in-breaking of God's kingdom, demonstrating God's power and mercy. In the cultural context of the time, illness was often seen as a result of sin or spiritual oppression, so healing was not only physical but also spiritual restoration. This command reflects Jesus' own ministry, as seen in passages like <a href="/matthew/4-23.htm">Matthew 4:23</a>, where He healed every disease and sickness among the people. The act of healing served as a tangible demonstration of God's love and a foretaste of the complete restoration promised in the kingdom of God.and tell them, The directive to "tell them" underscores the importance of proclamation in the mission of Jesus' followers. It was not enough to perform acts of mercy; the message of the kingdom needed to be communicated clearly. This aligns with the Great Commission in <a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a>, where Jesus instructs His disciples to make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey everything He has commanded. The spoken word was crucial in a predominantly oral culture, where stories and teachings were passed down verbally.‘The kingdom of God is near you.’ This proclamation is central to Jesus' message throughout the Gospels. The kingdom of God refers to God's sovereign rule and reign, which was inaugurated through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. The phrase "is near you" indicates both a present reality and a future hope. It suggests that through Jesus, God's kingdom has broken into human history, offering salvation and transformation. This echoes the message of John the Baptist in <a href="/matthew/3-2.htm">Matthew 3:2</a> and Jesus' own preaching in <a href="/mark/1-15.htm">Mark 1:15</a>.
