This is a great read on the subject of healing in the atonement. The Children's Bread is a book long out of print as far as I know and not many write about the subject. I wish Sam would give it a book length treatment.

Thanks for posting this, Mark! As a member of the National Office healing prayer team, I have been learning much about the tension been the "already and the not yet fully" in the manifestation of God's Kingdom. This is something that needs to be understood better (and perhaps taught more) in the context of healing (I only started hearing the phrase since I became part of the prayer team).

Within the Body of Christ, I have observed two extremes in teaching about healing: those who say that healing is automatically guaranteed to all believers as long as they have enough faith, and those who say God doesn't heal at all or that divine healing was only for the Early Church. Both extremes are wrong. The article you posted presents a balanced, biblical approach to understanding divine healing and its relationship to the atonement.

Interestingly, just last week a colleague mentioned "The Children's Bread" in a discussion about healing. I'll have to check into it.
