The Healing Power of Jesus

Will Yih

What if the worst thing you’re facing right now isn’t something to hide—but an invitation to something new? In this honest and heartfelt message, Pastor Will Yih shares how suffering affects all of us, but it doesn’t have to define us. Through one of the most powerful encounters in ancient storytelling, we see that healing starts not just with being “fixed,” but with being seen, known, and met with compassion. This isn’t about religion—it’s about real people, real pain, and a real opportunity to begin again. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, ashamed, or stuck in a season of suffering, this message is for you.

WHAT YOU CAN DO THIS WEEK

What comes to mind when you hear the word “suffering?” Think about how you’ve experienced suffering in your own life or with those around you. What response do you tend to have toward suffering (relief, revenge, restoration, etc)? Even if you have not experienced much suffering, invite God to show you what you run to when faced with pain, discomfort, or frustration. Now, reflect on how you’ve experienced the compassion of Jesus in times of distress or grief. Consider how you could bring your own or others suffering under the authority and compassion of Jesus. Begin by embracing His love for you in this moment. Remember, He was willing to suffer – for all of our sin – because of His great love for us.
