Healing is an important part of our road to freedom. Jesus offers us healing and freedom. When we find healing and freedom, we can help others find them. We can call on Jesus in our times of need, and he will answer. He promises to sustain us.
Through Compassion there are endless ways to meet the needs of our community and make an impact globally. Bringing a meal to teen moms, sponsoring a child, and tutoring local low-income kids are just three of the many ways Eastsiders make a difference and unleash compassion. God cares about the hungry and oppressed and clearly urges his people to take action to help them.
There is a dual blessing in serving others: we actually experience healing ourselves while assisting others on their road to healing and freedom. Let’s choose to find healing and be a light to those in need. What would it look like to be extravagant in our love toward those who are in need? Are there any misconceptions or prejudices that keep you from serving the poor?
Pray
Have you experienced spiritual healing while serving others? Praise God for that opportunity.
Read verse 8 out loud. What does this verse reveal to you about God’s heart for his people? Spend time praying for areas of healing in your life and those you care about.
What are your thoughts and attitudes toward those who live in poverty? Reflect on these things. Tell God how you feel and ask him to heal anything that hinders you from serving him. What would it look like to unleash compassion and love others as God does?

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him, nothing was made that has been made. (John 1:1 ~ 3)
God A holy (without sin), spiritual being, all-knowing, everywhere present, eternally existent in three distinct personalities – God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit – one God (Exodus 3:14-15, John 4:24, Matthew 28:19, John 1:1-2).Jesus Christ Jesus became “God in the flesh.” He was born through the miracle of a virgin birth, lived a sinless life, was crucified and died a physical death as atonement for our sins, and was physically resurrected from the grave. (Matthew 1:18-25, 1 Corinthians 15:3-8) He will return in bodily form as Lord of the universe, to gather his followers and judge those who have rejected him (Acts 1:9-11, Hebrews 9:27-28).
The Holy Spirit Lives within those who believe in Jesus Christ as Comforter and Advocate, and helps us become more like Jesus in thought, word, actions, and character (John 16:5-15).
Sin Men and women were created in the image of God but are now separated from God by sin (Romans 5:12-21).
Salvation Faith (belief and trust) in Jesus and his sacrifice on the cross is the only way to be reconciled with God (Acts 4:8-12). Salvation cannot be earned; it is offered through Jesus based on grace, not merit. What we couldn’t do for ourselves (reconcile with God), Jesus did through his death on the cross (Ephesians 2:8-9). God lovingly offers salvation to every person, and every person has the freedom to accept or reject this gift at any time (John 3:16-18). Faith requires repentance (conforming our lifestyle to Christ’s), and results in obedience. Baptism by immersion demonstrates a pledge of our willingness to live for Him (Acts 8:26-38, Romans 6:1-4).
The Bible The Bible is inspired by God and is therefore without error or contradiction, and is the sole authority for faith and practice. All our beliefs come from the Bible (2 Timothy 3:15-16, 2 Peter 3:15-16).
The Church The Church of Jesus Christ is not limited to any one institution or denomination; it consists of all who have trusted Jesus Christ for the redemption of their sins. Eastside is therefore but one part of the greater Church (1 Corinthians 12:12-17).
