Jesus and the sick. In order to fully experience the life we are intended

for we need all of the fullness of Jesus. That means not just receiving his

teaching, not just receiving the consequences of his death and

resurrection, but also receiving his power and coming under his lordship.

Throughout the gospel of Luke Jesus is shown to have authority over death

and disease. Everyone is eligible for his healing; it is a natural overflow

from his compassion for all people; and it exists as we exercise our faith.

The more we trust that he is who he says he is, the more we will see him be

true to his promises. At bread we believe we’re being called into more

maturity as a community. Maturity means growing in the things of Jesus, all

predicated on growing in our faith in him.
