God’s will, not human will, heals

Jeff Shepard

The Gospels tell us in several places that Christ Jesus healed all those who were sick (see, for example, Matthew 8:16 and Luke 4:40; 6:19). It seems apparent that he healed minor conditions as well as serious ones.

The healing Science that underlies what Jesus taught and demonstrated is divine; it is complete, lacking nothing; and it is all-inclusive, covering all human needs. Yet sometimes, when it comes to “smaller” problems or illnesses, we can be tempted to think: “This won’t last; it will get better on its own” or “This is a small problem and I’m too busy to pray.” But is any claim in a power apart from God so small that it should be ignored, or that we should simply put up with it until it goes away?
