- Introduction:The second specialized group our lesson deals with is the sick. One wonders if the title of this lesson should really be “healing the sick” rather than “discipling the sick”. The lesson mainly discusses Jesus’ ministry to the sick. This is an important issue for Jesus. Three out of 4 gospels, which tell the story of Jesus, make healing as important as His teachings. The only gospel which gives a slightly more important place to teaching over healing is Matthew. How should we be ministering to the sick is a key question this lesson raises.
