Its really sad to see people with disabilities and physical challenges on the streets, begging for aid.But what's more touching is when these persons are born that way. They made no mistake, they made no wrong choice, but yet they were born disabled.
Physical challenges such as blindness, deafness, lameness , and a host of other disabilities can be of great discomfort to the victim. More so it leads to shame, embarrassment amd low self-esteem on the part of the disabled victim.
But the question is, does the Bible say anything about the disabled? If yes, then what is the future for the disabled and the physically challenged?
When Jesus was on earth, he demonstrated his power over disabilities and physical challenges by healing the infirm whenever he came in contact with them. For example at Matthew 11:5, see what the Bible says;
The blind are now seeing and the lame are walking, the lepers are being cleansed and the deaf are hearing, the dead are being raised up and the poor are being told the good news.
Yes Jesus informed his listeners of the miracles that he has performed through the power of God. Among them were the healing of the disabled.
Also at Matthew 15:30 and 31, the Bible says;
30 Then large crowds approached him, bringing along people who were lame, maimed, blind, speechless, and many others, and they laid them at his feet, and he cured them. 31 So the crowd felt amazement as they saw the speechless speaking and the maimed being made sound and the lame walking and the blind seeing, and they glorified the God of Israel.
In this scripture, people with disabilities were brought to Jesus Christ and he healed them. In verse 31, the Bible says that this got the people amazed. Imagine how they must have felt seeing their loved ones who had been suffering from a disability, become whole again. Imagine how the disabled persons must have felt, to be relieved from their suffering and be able to use all parts of their bodies. It truly must have been a wonderful sight, no wonder it caused the people to be amazed.
Jesus proved that he had power over any disability of any sort. So yes there is hope for the disabled. If you are disabled and you are reading this, or if you have a friend or relative struggling with any disability, then the following scriptures should be of great encouragement to you.
Please read Isaiah 35:6;
At that time the lame will leap like the deer, And the tongue of the speechless will shout for joy. For waters will burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert plain.
Very shortly, there will be no need for wheel chairs. There will be no need for sign language. God has promised a worldwide healing for the disabled.
Also Isaiah 35:5;
At that time the eyes of the blind will be opened, And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.
So for those of you totally blind or those using specs as a result of one eye defect or the other, well very soon you won't need them, God will give u perfect eye sight. And for those who are hearing impaired, the Bible says you will have perfect hearing soon.
Yes the Bible has shown that there is hope for ALL the disabled. God's word always come true, and I have strong faith, that this is not going to be an exception! Do you?

Thanks for sharing this reassuring writeup. We live in a world where many face different challenges. Physical challenges on the other hand can be very depressing. We await the time where it will no longer exist.
Thanks for sharing this hope with SteemChurch. The physial challenges present in the world today is only for a short time. Jesus showed how loving he is to those with challenges when he healed them in the past. We can only expect more in the future.

Jesus was a good example of real definition of a helper for those who don't have hope in life.
He showed good example by making sure that the physically challenged people are been helped .
The lord is wonderful and we all should always help those who are not able to do what others are doing with either any part of their body.
Use your money, your wealth and the riches God gave you to help those who cannot afford
Like i feel so sad and down when i see some of this disabled people, then i know we are not grateful to God enough.
But i know that there's a place prepared for us all to live a life without pain, sickness, suffering...
There is indeed hope for all disabled people, because God has the power to heal any disabilities.

Thank you so much for this wonderful article @usijayofficial
The Name of Jesus and faith in that Name still heals all manners of disease.
I have seen people born crippled completely restored to perfect by the name of Jesus!
Thank you God for all that you've given us... And we pray permanent healing on our brothers and sisters that are physically challenged.
Amen!
