Title: Let's Be Healed Under the Cross (I)
Example) Professor Hulbert Benson of Harvard Medical School, the number one university in the United States, introduced an experiment in 'Eternal Treatment that transcends time' (book): Divide the doctors into two groups, and one group of doctors treats patients with kindness and warmth. did. I let the other doctors do what they normally do. Warm doctors spent an average of 15-20 minutes more talking with their patients than other doctors. We even paid attention to the difficulty of parking.
Results of treatment: With warm care, the patients had fewer blood pressure, blood sugar, and complications, their blood sugar was easily treated, and the recovery of the surgery patients was quick. Professor Benson concluded: “Doctors' treatment is not just drugs and injections. The way doctors treat patients and their relationships heal.” This is the famous Benson principle.
What does Benson's principle say? Ultimately, it refers to the healing of Jesus, who loved people even to the point of shedding his blood on the cross. Let's read 16-17. “… He healed all who were sick; He Himself took our infirmities and bore our diseases.
Among the parts that need to be healed, ‘emotions’ must take precedence over physical healing. “Emotion” refers to a feeling or feeling. Joy, anger, sadness, displeasure, etc. that arise in the heart. Emotions affect respiration, pulse, muscle contraction, blood circulation, body temperature, and excitement. The toxin that harms these feelings is the ‘rejection emotion’.
I. Where do rejection feelings come from?
1. In the womb of the mother: Ex) Traditional prenatal education - When the father conceives, the treatment is different.
Ex) extramarital pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy. Let's read Psalm 51:5. “I was born in iniquity… ”
2. At birth: Ex) I wanted a son and gave birth to a daughter. “I am who I should not have been”
3. The shocks of the period of growth
1) Lack of parental love: Ex) Pastor’s repentance - “Dad, do you love me even if I pee?”
2) Unacknowledged growing up period: ① Lack of communication ② Not being respected
? Read Psalm 27:10, “My parents have forsaken me, but the LORD will receive me.”
3) Education out of balance
① Discipline and love? Let's read Ephesians 6:4. “… Nurture them in the discipline and admonition of the Lord...”
② favoritism
③ Incorrect education and words
4. Post-growth shock
II. people who experience rejection
1. Fear
2. Shame
3. Feeling of failure
4. Loneliness and Sadness
For Koreans, the trauma of rejection is especially great. See that Jesus died on the cross for us! How much you valued us! Read Isaiah 43:4. “Because you are precious and honorable in my eyes, and I love you… ” Our parents and the world rejected us, but Jesus accepted us even when he died.
