What is it to be healed? To take away pain? To take away the cause of pain? To become super-human and never face pain again? When Jesus healed people, what does that mean?
At biblestudy and at Crossings, we talked about healing and what it means for us. What it means to find healing in faith. Over all, it seems that everyone felt like healing was a letting go. A finding of faith that surpasses the sorrows and pains we feel in life.
Jeff once told me that when we are baptised we try to tread water to keep our head up. But with time, we get tired and we are left with two options... 1. get out of the water or 2. stop fighting and let go.
Letting go is dangerous. Going under means drowning. Dying to ourselves, to our desire to control all the bad things around us and make them go away. Letting go is trusting God beyond what we can understand or control. But, in letting go we find the peace and joy of the resurrection which heals us, fully and completely.
