I have finally used our blog book (Stories of Healing: Jesus and his followers) the way it is meant to be used.
The Bible-Lesson for this week includes the story of the Jesus' healing of the man with hearing and speaking difficulties. On consulting the Index of our book I found it beginning on page 100.
It is pointed out that Jesus used a form of sign language to communicate with the man and indicate that he could heal him -- "He touched the man's ears to show him that be healed of deafness.. Next, he touched the man's tongue to show him that he would be healed of his speech problems."
Have we not all wondered about that touching? What a simple explanation.
A side-bar points us to information about Healing by Touch on page 267, And another side-bar points to information about spit - page 269. Page 252 has a contemporary healing of deafness of a child. We come to this through the Index.
Another story in the Bible Lesson this week is that of Jesus feeding the "five thousand men, beside women and children." I don't find this in our book. Probably because it is not an actual healing.
