Healing: Good News, Troubling Question
2003, 4 pp
A sermon preached by Jake Letkemann at the Bethel Mennonite Church, Winnipeg, MB in 2003.
Jake begins, "Three of the four texts for today deal directly with physical healing...
My reading of Scripture has long led me to believe that God desires shalom that is peace and well-being for the human race...An obvious and very troubling question is this: If healing is the will of God for us, why are some people still smitten by serious illnesses...
Here is something that helps me when I stumble over this question. I'm satisfied that God wills wholeness, shalom, not illness and lack of shalom...When we are involved in bringing healing, wholeness to others via medical help, financial help, friendship, careful listening etc. we are doing the will of God."
