The
Divine Healer Can Heal You!
Another Cukierski Family Article
We give you permission to reproduce our article EXACTLY as it appears.
May God bless you!
"He
cured many who were suffering from diseases of one kind or another"
(Mark 1:34).
In the
Gospel story of Jesus bringing the dead man, Lazarus, back to life,
Jesus affirms His Divine Power, saying, "I am the Resurrection
and the life. If anyone believes in Me, even though he dies he will
live, and whoever lives and believes in Me, will never die"
(Jn. 11:25-26).
From the
beginning of His public ministry, Jesus demonstrated that the Healing
Power of God was in Him. In Matthew's Gospel we read that "He
went round the whole of Galilee teaching in their Synagogues, proclaiming
the Good News of the Kingdom and curing all kinds of diseases and
sickness among the people" (Mt. 4:23). And, in Mark’s Gospel,
Mark tells us that the Apostle Peter's mother-in-law was in bed,
sick with a fever. And Jesus "went to her, took her by the
hand and helped her up. And the fever left her." Later, the
people "brought to Him all who were sick and those who were
possessed by devils." And, "He cured many who were suffering
from diseases of one kind or another."
Let
us think about the first disciples of Jesus. After encountering
Jesus, these very ordinary men and women discovered that they had
an amazing power to heal, which they could share with others. From
the very beginning of their ministries, they demonstrated that the
Healing Power of God was in them.
Luke
tells us that "So many signs and wonders were worked among
the people at the hands of the Apostles. People even came crowding
in from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing with them their sick
and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were cured"
(Acts 5:12,14,16).
"I
am the Resurrection and the Life," says the Lord. Let us make
room for the Living Christ who is here to give us the guidance we
seek, and the power we need, to become instruments of healing in
a broken world. No matter how “broken” we may be, Christ still needs
us...Christ can still use us.
When we
are seeking to be healed, Jesus is our Model. Thus we read ... "As
He sat at a table in His house, many tax collectors and sinners
were sitting with Jesus and His disciples, for there were many who
followed Him. And the Scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that
He was eating with sinners and tax collectors, said to His disciples
'Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?' When Jesus heard
this He said to them, 'It is not the healthy who need the doctor,
but the sick. I did not come to call the virtuous, but sinners'"
(Mk. 2:17).
When
we are seeking to help heal others, Jesus-once again,
is our Model. We read ... "He summoned His twelve disciples,
and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to cast
them out and to cure all kinds of diseases and sickness" (Mt.
10:1).
The ministry
of healing and caring is a ministry of hope. We presume to bring
hope to our sisters and brothers in need, not because we are great,
but because God is great. We presume to offer New Life to our sisters
and brothers who are hurting, not because we think we have it made,
but because we can say, "Come and see us in our own brokenness.
Come and share with us an abiding hope in a Gracious God who loves
us and will never abandon us."
If we
offer ourselves to the world in a ministry of caring and healing,
modeled on Christ Jesus, we will shine as a sign of hope, and we
will be able to move people from darkness to light. And they will
find those whom they thought to be enemies to be their brothers,
and sisters.
It is
so important that we strive to help our fellow brothers and sisters.
For it says in the "Parable of the Last Judgment," it
is written ... I tell you solemnly, in so far as you did this to
one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it to Me. For
I was hungry and you gave Me food. I was thirsty and you gave Me
drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed Me. I was naked and you
clothed Me. I was sick and you visited Me. I was in prison and you
came to Me (Mt. 25:35-36).
Our
oneness with Christ is demonstrated only insofar as we permit Him
to work in us and through us with the Healing Power of His Love.
This
means ...•
Helping as He helps • Giving as He gives • Serving as He serves
• Rescuing as He rescues • Healing as He heals.
Dr. Karl
Menninger, the famous psychiatrist, was once asked following a lecture
on mental health ...
"What would you advise a person to do, if that person felt
a nervous breakdown coming on?" Most people expected him to
reply: "Consult a psychiatrist." To their astonishment,
he replied: "Leave your house, find someone in need and do
something to help that person.”
The Divine
Healer can heal YOU, but first you must be willing to help others.
May God
bless you all!
