Healing Scritpure

We celebrate the coming of Jesus at Christmas, God's greatest gift to a fallen humanity -- He gave us Himself. He came to be our salvation. As we have learned, this includes salvation from sin and death (salvation of our sous) and salvation from sickness and the oppression of the enemy (salvation of our bodies). So in honor of Jesus coming as our salvation, we will spend the next two lessons (this one and next week) looking at verses about the physical salvation God won for us through healing. This week we will look at verses about the life/ministry of Jesus and next week we will look at other verses in the bible about healing.
