Today's Early Church Wisdom
"We ourselves were well conversant with war, murder and everything evil, but all of us throughout the whole wide earth have traded in our weapons of war. We have exchanged our swords for plowshares, our spears for farm tools…now we cultivate the fear of God, justice, kindness, faith, and the expectation of the future given us through the Crucified One….The more we are persecuted and martyred, the more do others in ever increasing numbers become believers."
Justin Martyr
100-165 a.d.
This week's Psalm is Psalm 30 'Joy Comes With The Morning'

The First Step to Health

Given that all sickness and suffering are rooted in sin and death, it is necessary that the first step to ultimate and eternal health is that of coming to faith in Christ. The final and complete healing of all things is centred upon the Cross of Christ, for this is the heart of healing, and ultimately the whole of healing. The Cross is the foundation event of all history. At the Cross Jesus opens for us the way back to the Father and to the life and health that are only found in Him. Beginning now and continuing throughout all eternity, full health of body, soul, and spirit primarily consists in a living, personal and experiential relationship with God. This health is found nowhere else – not 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 channels through which that healing blessing may flow. And He can heal us without any of them! We therefore come to Him who alone gives us rest for our weary souls.
