Methodist Bible Expositor E. Stanley Jones once said, “Jesus is healing through your hands and through your eyes. He can heal through medicines and surgery. He can heal through mental suggestions. He can heal through a change of climate. He can heal through deliverance from underlying fears, guilt and resentment, He can heal through direct operation of the Spirit on the body through prayer and, ultimately, he heals through the resurrection of the body.”
Since all healing is from God, Christian health professionals need to see people the way Jesus sees them as bearing the image of God. Motivated by love and service, they are doing the “Lord’s work” as they go about their daily activity to care for the sick.
