God the Father sent Jesus His son to demonstrate love to the world. Jesus was God's love in action. Jesus said if you were looking at Him, you would be looking at the Father (John 14:9).

Jesus came and, with signs and wonders, demonstrated God's willingness and ability to heal.

The Bible records no instance where Jesus sent someone away until they had suffered more and learned their lesson. The Bible clearly records Jesus doing many mighty healing miracles. He had power over all sickness and diseases.

And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
(Matt. 9:35)

This verse does not say He healed just a few every now and then. It says He healed every sickness and every disease.

Jesus demonstrated He was a healing Savior. There were no limits on Jesus' willingness and ability to heal.

When Jesus was being arrested and taken away to be crucified, Peter used his sword to cut off an ear of one of the men who was arresting Jesus. Even then, when being led away to die, Jesus healed the man's ear (Luke 22:50-51).

I find it hard to imagine Jesus doing anything other than healing people. To say Jesus puts sickness on people to teach them something goes against everything you read about Him in the Bible.

You have to base this type of thinking on religious traditions that deny the ability of God to work in our lives today.
