Discipling the SickInitial Words

During His ministry, Jesus devotedmore time to healing the sick than

to preaching.

Wherever He went, the tidings of Hismercy preceded Him. Where He

passed, the objects of Hiscompassion were rejoicing in healthand making trial of their new-found

powers. The Ministry of Healing 19, 20.

Discipling the Sick1. Christ, the Healing Messiah

Isaiah 61:1, 2 NKJV The Spirit of the Lord God is uponMe, because the Lord has anointed

Me to preach good tidings to thepoor; He has sent Me to heal the

broken-hearted, to proclaim libertyto the captives, and the opening ofprison; to proclaim the acceptable

year of the Lord.

1. Christ, the Healing MessiahHealing Human Brokenness

In antiquity, sickness was consideredthe result of sinful actions.

Christs disciples understood

blindness as punishment forsomeones sinfulness.

This suggests that sickness requirednot diagnosis or medication butatonement.

Discipling the Sick2. Christs Total Healing

Mark 2:1-12 NKJVWhen Jesus saw their faith, He said

to the paralytic, Son your sins are

forgiven you. But that you mayknow that the Son of Man has

powerto forgive sins He said

Arise take up your bed.Immediately he aroseso that all

were amazed and glorified God.

2. Christs Total HealingHealing the Body

Jesus healed more than bodies. Hiswholistic approach recognized that

physical health was inseparable from

spiritual health.Through physical healing He affected

spiritual transformation. That was thewhole purpose. After all, why healpeople who in the long run will die

anyway and face eternal destruction?


15/21

2. Christs Total HealingHealing the Mind and Body

The relationship between mind andbody is well-established by medical

science. Anxiety predisposes some to

stomach problems. Worry causessleep disorders. Uncontrollable anger

factors into heart disease.Teaching people about mental-healthprinciples should highlight the

importance of trusting God.

2. Christs Total HealingThe Resurrection and the Life

Jesus offers eternal life in a newworld. Jairus daughter, the widows

son, and Lazarus proved that this too-

good-to-be-true offer is authentic.Disease and accidents might initially

prevail, but eternal life wouldultimately conquer. Healing wouldnot happen every time requested, but

everlasting life was guaranteed.

2. Christs Total HealingThe Resurrection and the Life

Many times the healing we wantjust simply does not come in the waywe want it. Others die from disease,

despite anointing and prayer.We have no answers as to why.

What we do have is something somuch better than even a miraculoushealing, and that is the promise of

the resurrection to eternal life.

3. Christs Healing LegacyImportance of Healing Ministry

Clearly health was an ongoingconcern and a healing ministry an

ongoing function of Christs church.

Healing was listed among thespiritual gifts. These gifts would

benefit believers until Christssecond coming, when His personalpresence would render them

unneccessary.

Discipling the SickFinal Words

Through physical healing and mentalrestoration, Jesus made disciples.

Physical restoration itself was never

the final objective. The ultimate goalwas always discipleship.

Healing could provide twenty, fifty,perhaps seventy-five additionalquality years. Discipleship offered

eternal life with Christ
