He sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal.
(Luke 9:2
NRSV)
Healing was central the Jesus' ministry. In Luke 6:18, it says, "They had come to hear him and to
be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured." Jesus'
ministry was about restoration.
Healing can come in many different forms. I expect that many of us here today wouldn't think of
death as healing, but I have ministered to many people who found relief and ultimate healing in
death. In death, we will find our complete union with God's grace.

If you have ever been healed physically or emotionally, then you know first hand the grace that
comes through healing. I just saw my mother a few months ago. She has battle cancer twice. She
had a hip socket that had locked up, but, God has healed her.
Prayer: Dear God, heal me and those who suffer in your name. Amen.
