"Through their submission to discipline, the lame, rather than being disabled, are healed. Setting a dislocated limb may seem to be a painful experience, but it is a healing act. To an untrained, inexperienced observer, it might seem to be an act of uncaring brutality. But to the person who is experiencing the pain, who realises the motives of his physician and trusts him, it is the first step back to health and strength."
Sinclair Ferguson, Children of the Living God (Carlisle, Pa: Banner of Truth, 1989) 118.
