Healing is part of the Good News.

It’s Good News that Jesus has power to heal.

It’s Good News that people can come to him in faith and receive healing.

It’s Good News that Jesus heals not only the wound, but also the shame that goes with it.

As we think about proclaiming the Good News at work, we realize we are called to minister the healing presence of Jesus to those around us.

A daunting calling! But don’t be afraid: the first step to ministering healing is simply learning to listen well.
