“Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.”
In the Gospel accounts , Jesus personally Blessed (dash) number of People! Let's do the counting book by book!
By now you know that the Gospel books are: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
At The Roots Tv we always encourage you to always confirm for yourself.
Matthew, writes that on 23 occasions Jesus blessed a total of 47 people. Some of those whom he blessed included a leper (Matthew 8:2), a non - Israelite woman and her daughter (Matthew 15:22), Mary Magdalene (Matthew 27:56) and Joseph of Arimathaea (Matthew 27:57).
The book of Mark records Christ, on three occasions, personally blessed three people. These events were the healing of a man with an unclean spirit (Mark 1:23), healing a man who was deaf (Mark 7:32) and making whole another who was blind (Mark 8:22).
Luke writes that on 14 occasions 94 people were blessed. They include the seventy disciples sent out to preach and heal (Luke 10:1), ten lepers cleansed at the same time (Luke 17:12) and Zaccheus (Luke 19:2).
Lastly, the apostle John bears record of eight incidents where nine people were helped by Jesus. Nicodemus (John 3:1), the woman accused of adultery (John 8:11) and Lazarus (John 11) are among those personally touched by the Savior of mankind.
All told, the Lord directly blessed 153 people in 48 separate incidents!
Never forget this verse though:
"Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I
suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be
written."
(John 21:25, )
