Recommended: A short reflection on Jesus Ministry

From birth until his death, Jesus has healed so many people suffering from illnesses and diseases. Healing was a general characteristic of his ministry. Jesus proved to be an unselfish individual by providing infinite care for others. Those who came to him never went away unaided. Jesus saw those in need as his children and he couldn’t bear to see their suffering. His healings by others were seen as miracles. Jesus was compassionate to serve others in need so they can be forgiven for their sins. He did not discriminate and set no restrictions on where and when one should come and sought help from him. His purpose on earth was to eradicate the burden of people’s disease, sins and misery.
Sufferers believed that their illnesses and diseases were the part of punishment from god for the sins they have done. Jesus on the other hand perceived the illnesses and diseases as evil and the enemy of the humankind. He proved that the healing was the blessing of god not the disease. As Jesus healed those in need, all he desired back was faith in the kingdom of the god. He did not ask people for any money or commodities. Jesus believed that what venerates god is unswerving faith and devotion and affection for God despite the sickness and disease. Jesus usually performed his healings by placing his hands on the sufferers. He constantly requested his followers not to spread the stories of these miracles as he was not seeking attention. All of the healings were prompted by compassion not fame. “He was seeking to draw men to him as their savior” (White, 1982). The more miracles and healings he did, the more people kept talking about it as they were astounded by his miracles.
Jesus came to earth to help us and he gave his life in services for the...

...ce during the hardship.
Understanding Jesus as a healer has impacted my role as a nurse. As a nurse, we provide care and compassion for those who are sick, frail and injured while staying within the professional limits. I suppose as nurse, I’m going on the right path under the guidance of Jesus as he wanted us to do good for others. During my orientation at Pacific Union College (Angwin campus), I once saw a picture of surgeons performing a surgery while a faint figure of Jesus behind the surgeon is holding his hand as he is guiding him. Jesus is our mentor and he is always there guiding us to do good for our patients. When in doubt, we should ask the lord for his guidance. It is our faith that allows us to treat and heal others. At last, I learned that we should be humble and unselfish like Jesus and should be always present to provide care and love for others.

  • Caring In Nursing Analysis

    I pray that the busyness of life, the tasks that need to be done, the science of healthcare, sleep deprivation, or monotony will never cloud the love and compassion that I have for people. Personally, I love making connections with people. I love giving people a chance to tell their stories. During my nursing practice, I foresee that I will do my best to be the most caring nurse possible. The responsibility lays within each individual nurse as to the level of caring and compassion that they bring to carrying out their nursing duties. I will continually choose to focus on the needs of my patients above my own. Displaying empathy, I will strive to put myself in each one of their shoes and make self-reflection a priority. I foresee that I will do whatever is within my power to enhance trust, comfort, happiness, and wellness for my patients. This may look like spending extra time with a patient, visiting a patient when I’m off-duty, providing emotional or spiritual resources to a patient, respecting a patient’s beliefs and values, providing for any physical needs or extra comfort measures, or just lending a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on. My patients will always know that they are not

  • Spiritual Crisis In Nursing

    It is imperative that they trust and lean on God for guidance during times like these. The Christian nurse can draw consolation from the words of Jesus when burdened with guilt associated with the patient’s sickness and suffering. According to 2 Corinthians 4:7-10, “But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;” (ESV) Nurses may not associate the patient’s problem with spirituality if they (the nurse) are not spiritually healthy, likewise they may not be able to fully help the patient if their suffering is persistent and without hope. However, compassionate caring goes a long way in alleviating the worries of the patient which will further relieve the worry and stress felt by the

    I am grateful to be at an institution of higher learning that understands and respects faith. My philosophy of nursing cannot be explained without God and Jesus. They are a part of each one of us. The reason that someone goes into a healthcare professional is usually to favorably treat a patient’s health. Spirituality of mind and body cannot be separated completely in my nursing philosophy. In this vein, nursing cannot be wholly separated from faith.

God shows his presence through Jesus so the people of earth have someone to follow. Even today we see God work his wonders even without the presence of Jesus. God shows miracles which no one would believe if they were not reality. God’s presence in the world is mediated through nature and reality as seen in the readings of The Gospel of Matthew and The Book of Exodus.

    Jesus’ willingness to heal The cure of a man suffering from a virulent skin disease (Mk 1:40-45) shows Jesus healing what was known as an incurable disease at that time. During Jesus’ time leprosy was seen as a punishment from God for sins against him. This beseeching man approached Jesus pleading him to cleanse him from this impurity, “A man suffering from a virulent skin disease came to him and pleaded on his knees saying, ‘If you are willing, you can cleanse me.’” During this time, lepers were seen as social outcasts of society, to such an extent where they had to warn people that approached them of their disease.

    Although a values set which includes love, honesty, goodness, kindness, self-control, and peace seem non-controversial, identifying those values with Christianity makes them controversial. It is important professionally to be sensitive to others, colleagues or patients, while not compromising one’s own values and creating distress. Recognizing that I personally and professionally provide an example of standards valuable to the nursing profession is important on this journey to advanced practice nursing. I do enjoy the time that I spend with those who believe and behave similar to me, but I also enjoy providing compassion and kindness to those who believe and behave differently, whether those differences are based on culture, religion, age, or life

Jesus reiterates that the people of God should strive to bring glory through their actions to God so that their light shines and all the nations can be blessed. We see in Matthew that Jesus preforms many miracles, and is able to bless many people through them. “And in his name the Gentiles will hope” (Matthew 12:21). This verse, along with the ones before it, from the prophet Isaiah, explain why Jesus healed the crippled man; Jesus’s miracle will bring hope to the Gentiles.

    In Mark Jesus healed many people with various ailments such as evil spirit possession, hemorrhaging, healing the deaf, the blind and epilepsy. The healings that Jesus conducted in Mark show that God’s love and mercy is everlasting. Also the power of faith and will power that the people had who were in need of the healing was very visible. Sometimes we go through situations and forget that God never left our sides during tribulations and His son Christ is within us no matter what. Also displayed in Mark through the stories of Jesus healing is the fact that God always has the final say so or judgment. Since God has the final say we should not worry or be too sadden by obstacles that we face. I truly believe that God will not give us more then we can handle and through obstacles we find our strength and courage to keep fighting.
