Spiritual care is actually listened carefully. In the semantic, the listening itself contains a "carefully", "focus" means; I add, in its "carefully" the word only to emphasize that apart from those who care to listen to the patient's aspirations to focus, but also careful to the sake of patients, but the truth is to respond.
The Bible records that Jesus had listened carefully to how to respond to the truth, and finally the release of the patient's knot; heal a broken heart good. Now let us look at the background recorded in this period:
Scripture: Mark recorded in the Bible book.
Date: millennium ago, the Lord Jesus by preaching the third year.
Location: Israel and the foot door, the Lord Jesus has just been demonstrated in the mountains He is the glory of God.
Characters: a father with his epilepsy and was mute ghosts troubled son;
Many onlookers crowd;
Challenge the capacity of disciples rush ghost Bible experts;
Lord Jesus and his disciples.
During this period the beginning of records, and the atmosphere was very tense - a large group of people are gathered with a group of ghosts in time for the failure of his disciples, and a disappointed father and a ghost is still attached, the population flow foam, kids rolling on the floor; situation more people disturbed by the fact that there are some flood of public outcry of religious authorities, accusing his disciples no power to out.
Three days in the preaching, the disciples had a number of successful time for ghosts. Unexpectedly, in this critical juncture in time for the ghosts of failure; and Jesus Christ was also in this awkward moment, which appears in the crowd. If it is Jesus, I will certainly feel the pressure of the failure of subglottic disciples, is the so-called "face death", how could a ghost do not immediately hand out to revive the prestige.
However, the Lord Jesus in this chaotic circumstances, but who is willing to listen carefully to the voice of his father. He knows that it is curable do not believe the whole generation, while another is the father of despair, but faith from generation to generation in the broken tip of the iceberg. Please everyone pay attention to the Bible, the Lord Jesus and his father's dialogue:
Jesus: "He (the child) may have the disease the number of occasions for that purpose?"
Father: "From the time children. Ghost repeatedly throw it in the fire, the water, it is necessary to eliminate him. What you can, ask you to have mercy on us, help us."
Jesus: "You can? In the letter, people who can do everything!"
Shouted the father immediately said (Scrolls have to "immediately cried tears to say"): "I believe, aid I do not believe ah! (See the Bible - Pastor Lu in translation)."
The father is despair, confidence shattered and desperate situation. ghosts were attached to the child, the father again and again with children searching for medical, religious healers, etc. But in reality, disappointed him, and then disappointed. Confidence to seek help, have long been gone! In fact, lack of confidence, not only does the father of the child!
Advanced cancer patients and their families vulnerable to the alternative treatment, physician healers for help in order to bring false hope (false hope); Unfortunately, under the condition deteriorated in the hope that disillusionment, often designed for greater despair. Dry starving people will be able to live a few days; a lack of confidence and despair of the people, is also suffering more than a half-day living. Despair is broken because of the confidence the most fundamental knot. Only truth can heal such a knot, people regain the confidence of a man; as his father before the main treatment in order for children to master life.
Jesus ask the question, the children's father, except to answer a "child childhood disease", he immediately to talk him out of the child, to speak what was the occasion of helplessness and despair. Therefore, it is the tone of his father's desperate for help, is adopting an attitude of leaving it a try; It is precisely because of this despair, let's try one sad emotion, so that a genuine way out for him near the edge, almost missed out.
Fortunately, At this juncture, the Lord Jesus has appropriate response. At that time, the Lord Jesus did not keep the sympathy, comfort that his father; but the challenge is to love him for his father's responsibility. Lord Jesus face to face, he pointed out that confidence has to be done before a person, child's illness have a way out. Therefore, Jesus in that important juncture, intentionally repeat of that semantic father: "You can?" (NIV translation of the Bible, the new: "If you can?")
We need to know to the truth, the patient's ability to release knot, must include: listening, grasp the patient's knot, the search for truth, with the ability to come from to respond to patient needs.
Lord Jesus in the face of a child his father's reaction was strong wronged over the years, but finally came to an end! He immediately cried tears, and issued calls for help. U.S. may wish to look than to the children before and after his father twice for help, what a difference - the first time let the action just holds one test, the attitude of despair; the second time can be cordial to the Grand Master for the call.
At this point, the truth of Jesus in order to respond to medical treatment of his father's knot, do not believe Mongolia generations started treatment, and ultimately also ghosts out, children with medical treatment, to regain their newborn. This shows that is not confined to listen carefully to hear it, but also to respond to the truth, I hope everyone who can understand the concern and care.
