Healer

The concept of a healer in the Bible encompasses both physical and spiritual healing, primarily exemplified in the ministry of Jesus Christ, who healed the sick, restored the broken, and offered salvation to the lost.

In biblical times, healing was often associated with divine intervention. The Jewish culture placed a strong emphasis on physical and spiritual wholeness, and the prophets and later Jesus were seen as agents of God's healing power.
