Physical, spiritual, social … one interconnected whole

Morning: Psalms 97, 99; Hosea 4:1-10; Acts 21:1-14
Evening: Psalm 94; Luke 5:12-26

When Jesus healed people, he sometimes said their sin were forgiven.  Forgiveness is the healing of relationships. When Jesus heals people, they are usually restored to community – because sickness is very isolating.  Healing also restores people’s relationships with others and with God.  The distinctions between Body, Mind and Spirit are convenient ways of speaking, but they are misleading – all aspects of our humanity are part of one whole.  When one part is broken, the whole is compromised.  When one part is made whole, the rest benefits.  We are discovering the Creation is like that too … one interconnected whole.
