Christ the Lord of Life and Death – On the Healing of the Bent Woman (Luke 13:10–17)

Scripture

• Luke 13:10–17

About this sermon

In this powerful homily, we reflect on the Gospel of the woman bent over for eighteen years (Luke 13:10–17) and the profound truth that Jesus Christ alone is the Lord of life and death. While God often works through physicians, medicine, and human skill, every healing ultimately comes from His divine mercy. Drawing from the healing of the bent woman and the life of St. Panteleimon the Great Martyr and Unmercenary Physician, this sermon reminds us that Christ alone determines the hour of healing, suffering, and death. The miracles recorded in the Holy Gospels are not merely historical events—they reveal the identity of Jesus Christ as the God-Man who conquered death through His Resurrection. The raising of Lazarus, the healing of the sick, and the witness of the saints all point to the same eternal truth: our hope is found in Christ alone. May this reflection strengthen your faith, deepen your trust in God's providence, and encourage you to seek Christ first in every trial.
