Healer — Jehovah Rapha
Jehovah Rapha — 'I am the Lord who heals you' (Exodus 15:26). The Suffering Servant passage is the foundation: 'He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed' (Isaiah 53:5). Peter restates it as declaration to the church: 'by his wounds you have been healed' (1 Peter 2:24). James gives the practice: 'Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well' (James 5:14-15). In Jesus's recorded ministry, more than half is healing — blind eyes, deaf ears, leprosy, paralysis, the dead raised. The evangelical theology of healing holds that the same God who healed on Galilean roads heals now. I call God He's a Healer. Not metaphorically. As the actual description of what happens.
