Evening: Psalm 34; Mark 5:1-20
The healing stories of Jesus are helpful for balancing our understanding of him. Some of Jesus’s biggest fans make it sound as if he is all about sin and judgement, with all the negative connotations of those words. But Jesus is about healing brokenness, healing profound imbalances in the life of the world, many of which we ourselves have created. Illness, too, is imbalance, a brokenness of body, mind, heart or soul. Jesus seeks to bring health and wholeness and does not admonish us for our brokenness. Healing is not about being good, but whole.
