Overview: (skip if video is used)
Every week we hear of
another person who has been diagnosed with cancer or some other dire medical
condition. Some people suffer for years
with physical conditions that makes their lives difficult. It is hard to understand why our friends and
family must experience sickness.
During His ministry on
earth, Jesus healed many people with broken bodies. Jesus teaches us that it is not always about
our weakness but about what God can do through our brokenness. Jesus had great compassion for the suffering
of the sick but His true calling was the healing of their broken souls.
