JESUS WHO?

 
JESUS WHO?
For 18 years she had been bedridden with a debilitating disease.  As her health deteriorated, her neighbors and her husband were expecting her death at any time.

The husband was on business in another village in Hindustan.  While in the marketplace he heard a man speak with authority about Jesus.  He said 'Any of you can ask Jesus to help you with any of your problems and sickness.  He will answer your requests because He is the true and living God.'

These words were ringing in the husband's mind as he returned home.  He was wondering who this Jesus was.  He knew that his wife would die anytime.  That night he decided to pray,  'Jesus, I don't know who you are, but that man stood in the marketplace and said that anyone can ask You and You will help, Please heal my wife!'  This became his daily prayer.

Over a period of three months she got progressively better and was able to get out of bed and walk.
Her friends and neighbors saw her on her feet for the first time in 18 years.  'Who was the doctor who treated her?' they asked.

The husband explained that it was not a doctor and he went on to tell of his experience - how he heard the man in the marketplace say, 'If you ask Jesus to help you with your problems and heal your sickness, He will.'  So every day and night I would call on the name of JESUS, and I could see my wife getting better.
Many of the villagers had never had never heard the name of JESUS, but the husband believed Him to be' a God who can do anything'.  People brought their sick to the husband so he could ask JESUS
to heal them.  To his surprise JESUS continued to answer his prayers and many were healed.

Leaders of the cross-cultural outreach team from Hindustan Bible College had asked the Lord to lead them to a village that had not heard about JESUS.  When they arrived at the village where these events took place, they were awestruck at what the Lord had already done.  They were able to tell the villagers who Jesus was and many of them accepted Him as their Lord and Savior.
