FAMILY THERAPY
Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:26-31
NATS: If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26)
NATS: If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26)
Doctor Paul Brand, a medical missionary who lived in India, looks at a remarkable phenomenon in some patients. When they're in a period of recovery after undergoing surgery at the hospital, some family members will bring hot food to the patients. The next night a relative would sleep under the bed of the patient. And when the patient woke up in a state of pain, your loved ones will give you a gentle massage until she slept again.
Brand doctors initially thought that this way is inappropriate and unhealthy. But after some time, he began to notice that patients who received the loving care of the family, actually require less medication for pain relief. Their pain has been alleviated by the people who love them. "Family therapy" brings warmth and caring family to a place that is not unusual.
We can learn from the example of love and caring and apply it in the family. Those who belong to Christ are part of a spiritual family and need to be aware of the pain suffered by other members. The Apostle Paul said, "If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it" (1 Corinthians 12:26).
This principle asks us to find practical ways to ease the pain of others. Do you currently know a brother in need "family therapy" from you? - HDF
To relieve the OTHERS
