Jehovah-Rapha is the name of our Lord for “The one who heals.”   James Garlow said, “When I reflect the likeness of God’s Son, I am a carrier of healing.”  I doubt most of us view our lives as “carriers” of healing. But as Christ followers, if we are reflecting Christ in our lives we are bringing about healing as we journey through this life -we are His hands, feet, voice and listening ear to a hurting world.  Jesus’ ministry was a healing ministry.  He sent the original twelve to continue His healing ministry, and we too as followers of Christ are to continue the work!

Through the power of the Holy Spirit we bring hope, healing, and restoration to a world that has been broken by sin.  Yes, when we reflect the image of Christ in our lives (called to be light) - we will be carriers of hope and healing. Our world is in desperate need of the hope we have in Jesus Christ - our Savior and Lord!
