CHRISTIAN HEALING
WORKBOOK ONE
Reflections on healing
Foreword
The ministry of healing has always occupied a sacred place within the life of faith and service of humankind. Throughout history, those called to the vocation of healing have sought not only to relieve physical suffering, but also to restore hope, dignity, and spiritual strength to those entrusted to their care. This work has been prepared as a resource for those who serve in this noble calling.
The healer stands at the meeting point between human suffering and Divine compassion. In responding to the needs of others, the healer participates in a mission that finds its deepest meaning in the Life and ministry of Jesus Christ. The Gospels testify that Christ came to bring salvation to humankind. The Saviour confronted the consequences of the Fall - sin, suffering, ageing, and death - with the power of Divine mercy and restoration.
Jesus went about Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every infirmity among the people (Matthew 4:23-24). Miracles, healings, and raising of the dead stand as profound signs of Christ’s ministry. These signs and wonders reveal the compassionate Heart of God and the promise of renewed and eternal life.
The call to healing did not end with Christ’s earthly ministry. Across nations and generations, healers have been summoned to share in this salvific work. Healers serve as instruments of Divine grace in a wounded world. Whether through prayer, compassionate presence, or the ministry of spiritual restoration, the healer participates in a sacred vocation that demands humility, wisdom, and deep faith.
May this work serve as both guide and encouragement in this holy work.
