Healing That Goes Deeper

gospel accounts of Jesus’ healings

When Jesus healed, He frequently did more than repair a body. He restored people to community, pronounced forgiveness, and addressed the deeper isolation that suffering had created. Physical healing matters. In the gospels it is often a sign of a larger restoration already underway.
