David and Goliath. So much has been written about these two foes that it seems strange to say more.

There’s one last thing we haven’t talked about when it comes to healing and all the many things Jesus heals folks from in the gospels: how Jesus heals people from, as the gospels put it, the demons that possess them.

As much as we're crying out for rest, I think we're clamoring even more for healing.

The society we live in throws relentless demands upon us every day. Demands on our time. Demands on our minds. Demands on our bodies.
