How Jesus the Great Physician Brings Healing in All Its Many Forms
Volatile relationships. Mental health battles. The restless, fruitless pursuit of satisfaction. These are not problems that exist alongside the Christian life--they are the very places Jesus came to reach. We believe Jesus came to save. But didn't he also come to heal?
In Theology That Heals, pastor and theologian Ike Miller invites us to broaden our understanding of the Gospel--to see Jesus not only as Savior but as the Great Physician who entered our broken world, shared our struggles, and has the power to bring complete restoration to our souls. Reading Scripture from creation to new creation, Miller shows how God's original design was wholeness, and how that wholeness is precisely what Jesus came to restore. Even our sin, he argues, often represents our best attempts to cope with a broken world and a battered heart--and the Gospel speaks directly into that brokenness.
As you come to understand Jesus as the Great Physician, you'll find new freedom to:
● Name your pain honestly--without shame, and without feeling that struggle disqualifies you from faith
● Understand your brokenness more clearly--including the ways your coping strategies, however imperfect, reflect a deep hunger for something only God can provide
● Experience the Gospel more fully--not only as forgiveness received but as healing that reaches into your relationships, your mental and emotional life, and your sense of self
● Embrace Jesus as someone who understands--one who shared our struggles, knows our pain from the inside, and is not distant from the hardest places in your life
Written with both compassion and theological depth, Theology That Heals is for Christians who have sensed there is more to salvation than they have yet experienced and for those who work with hurting people: pastors, counselors, and ministry leaders who need a richer Gospel to offer.
Jesus came to save--and he came to heal. Theology That Heals will help you experience the difference.
