What does EGW write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "The Lord ministered unto their needs."
Answer
Jesus Christ demonstrated divine compassion by actively ministering to the physical and spiritual needs of all who approached Him, often prioritizing the relief of others over His own comfort. He healed the sick, comforted the afflicted, and provided food for the hungry, showing that God's mercy extends to both temporal and spiritual necessities. Even today, the Lord continues to work in various ways to supply human needs, inviting us to recognize His merciful dealings through spiritual discernment.
Christ’s Compassionate Ministry to the Needy
Christ was ministering to the poor, the suffering, and the afflicted. These had cried in their anguish because they could not find relief from their affliction and their sin. ... He gave the suffering tender comfort. He took the little ones in His arms, and commanded freedom from disease and suffering. He gave sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, health to the diseased, and comfort to the afflicted.
Supplying Human Need Through Miracles
What condescension it was on the part of Christ to work this miracle to satisfy hunger! He relieved the hunger of one hundred sons of the prophets, and again and again since then, though not always in so marked and visible a way, He has worked to supply human need. If we had clearer spiritual discernment, so that we could recognize more readily God's merciful, compassionate dealing with His people, we would gain a rich experience.
Self-Denial to Relieve Suffering
Jesus worked to relieve every case of suffering that He saw. He had little money to give, but He often denied Himself of food in order to relieve those who appeared more needy than He. ... To those who were in need He would give a cup of cold water, and would quietly place His own meal in their hands. As He relieved their sufferings, the truths He taught were associated with His acts of mercy, and were thus riveted in the memory.
A Mother's Pity for the Afflicted
With pity exceeding that of a tender mother He bent over the suffering little ones. All received attention. Everyone was healed of whatever disease he had. The dumb opened their lips in praise; the blind beheld the face of their Restorer. The hearts of the sufferers were made glad.
God's Benevolence for All Mankind
The blessings of salvation, temporal as well as spiritual, are for all mankind. ... The Lord is a God of benevolence. He has made ample provision for the wants of all, and through His representatives, to whom He has entrusted His goods, He designs that the needs of all His creatures shall be supplied.
Healing and the Gospel for the Poor
“He went about doing good,” “healing all that were oppressed of the devil,” binding up the broken-hearted, setting at liberty them that were bound, restoring sight to the blind, causing the lame to walk and deaf to hear, cleansing the lepers, raising the dead, and preaching the gospel to the poor.
