Today's Early Church Wisdom
“For the Gentiles, hearing from our mouth the words of God, are impressed by their beauty and greatness: then, learning that our works are not worthy of the things we say, they turn to railing, saying that it is some deceitful tale. For when they hear from us that God says: ‘No thanks will be due to you, if ye love only those who love you; but thanks will be due to you, if ye love your enemies and those that hate you’—when they hear this, they are impressed by the overplus of goodness: but when they see that we do not love, not only those who hate us, but even those who love us, they laugh at us, and the Name is blasphemed.”
~ The 2nd Epistle of Clement (140-160AD
This week's Psalm is Psalm 30 'Joy Comes With The Morning'

Healing of the Whole Person

Though health and healing may be facilitated by physical and psychological events, all health starts in the spirit. For complete health is only found in a living, personal and experiential relationship with God. Such health is found nowhere else. It is not found in gyms, nor hospitals, nor diets, nor friends, nor wealth, nor success, nor in any other place, for although God may use any one of these things to bless us, they are not the Source of our healing but merely the channels of that blessing. And He can heal us without any of these! An adequate understanding of health acknowledges all the dimensions of human personhood, as well as the temporary constraints on health posed by our present state of corruption. Absolute healing requires that we must ultimately be perfected by God in spirit, cognition, motivation, emotion, body, behaviour, and context. At the resurrection, we arrive at perfect health, but our healing journey begins now, as we walk through this life of suffering and pain, side by side with our Saviour, who loves us and will surely provide abundant amazing grace for all we will face in life! Praise God, who is concerned not merely to heal part of us, but who heals the whole person!
