The Ministry of Health and Healing
and washed, and came back seeing.”
John 9:7
. The cure could be
wrought only by the power of the Great Healer, yet Christ made
use of the simple agencies of nature. He did not give approval for
drug medication, but He sanctioned the use of simple and natural
remedies.
When we have prayed for the recovery of the sick, whatever
the outcome, let us not lose faith in God. If we are called upon to
meet bereavement, let us accept the bitter cup, remembering that a
Father’s hand holds it to our lips. But if health is restored, it should
not be forgotten that the recipient of healing mercy is placed under
renewed obligation to the Creator.
When the ten lepers were cleansed, only one returned to find
Jesus and give Him glory. Let none of us be like the unthinking
nine, whose hearts were untouched by the mercy of God. “Every
good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from
the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of
turning.”
James 1:17
