Healing is deeply embedded in the gospel of Jesus Christ. He not only used healing and miracles to stimulate faith and to bring crowds to Him, it is a part of the good news of the coming Kingdom of God and the great eternity beyond. Everything and every situation will eventually be healed.

Key Statement/Teaching	Paragraph
Healing and Christ's message of the coming Kingdom of God were almost inseparable.	53
Healing returns the body to its original, pure, wholly sound state; and so it is with the Kingdom of God, which shall return the earth to its original, pure, wholly sound state (referred to as "the times of restitution of all things" in Acts 3:21).	55

Conclusion: Key points:

In Jesus' ministry, healing and the gospel message were almost inseparable.
Healing returns the body to its healthy state. The greater plan of God is, in fact, a healing. The "times of restitution of all things" is a healing from all the times of humans during the times they rejected God and when Satan was loosed on earth.
