Healing - Rev. Colleen Hurley-Bates (6-3-18)

Mark 7:31-37. Healing is a topic we are all intensely interested in. Be it for ourselves or others, we spend much time in prayer for health and wholeness. We talk about our infirmities and we lament, with great reason, our diseases. Here, in Mark 7, Jesus touches a man with a devastating condition, one that has possibly plagued him his whole life. As we read it, we are struck by a few things. One is how Jesus heals Him. Another is the nature of the trouble. And another is what Jesus tells the man afterwards. I encourage you to take some moments in meditation this week on this passage, asking the Lord for insight and wisdom.
