The God of healing

About this episode

This episode discusses the themes of healing and faith as illustrated in the scriptures of Malachi and Matthew.

Malachi 4:1-6Who is Malachi 4-5-6 talking about? Elias isn't dead, so its possible he can return to earth in physical form, just like Jesus. The author of Mark has a hard time fulfilling this prophecy it seems. To stress the point home, he then has the transfiguration: Jesus stands with Moses and Elijah. Matthew 9:20-22What is the meaning of Matthew 9 20-22?The gospel story remembers a woman who was suffering for a long time. She came in her need for healing; the journey was enlivened by her faith. Faith may not cure our ills and sicknesses; but over a long time of faith, we are healed and strengthened.
