First and foremost, it is necessary
to acknowledge that ‘Healing’ isn't Cornerstone of our faith. By no means it is
a way to measure our spirituality and personal relationship with God.[1] It isn't the necessity for
believing Jesus either.
Second, healing does occur even
today.[2] But it is not a paramount
to our faith. If any person comes to Jesus just for sake of healing, s/he
hasn't really understood the necessity, essence and purpose of following Jesus
at all. Anyone who just comes to Jesus for sake of healing, will also turn his
back to Jesus for sake of healing. We aren't against healing but it isn't the
concern that we come to Jesus.
Third, Sachai kendra is a
compromising movement with ideology akin to New Age flavor embedded in its
blood.[3] Just because they use
Jesus' name doesn't lead to conclusion that they are Christians. This is
slippery slope and association fallacy. Jesus is indeed one of the most influenced
persons in this world from whom many non-Christians have been inspired like
Ambedkar, Gandhi, Vivekananda, etc.
Fourth, Sachai kendra is marketing
healing as a business which is totally absurd and insane. remember what Jesus
warned: not all who calm him lord shall be part of heavenly kingdom and not all
who did wonderful deeds in his name shall be his own people (Matt. 7:21-23).
This is a deep serious warning. So, Jesus himself mentioned that there would be
people who would be doing great deeds in his name and yet he shall reject or
deny them in day of judgement. Many apologetics ministries seem to expose
miracles as fake but that might not be case. However, even if the miracles are
real, we don't get clue regarding their motive and goal.
Fifth, healing can be sometimes
necessary. Many people have come to Jesus due to healing.[4] But it isn't necessity of
following Jesus. Healing can occur with scientific methods, mystic powers,
balanced diet, psychological treatment or other ways. What Jesus offers is God
himself to us. nothing can offer this to us. When we make healing our core
concern then we are committing idolatry because it is healing that we need and
for its achievement we followed Jesus. This is sad.
Finally, healing isn't to be
avoided and if it happens then let God be credited and glorified. He still
heals people. But marketing healing is blunder and shameful act. Sachai kendra
is one of such movements that has been misusing name of Jesus for healing and
compromising Biblical identification of what it means to be a Christian. Yes,
there are many followers of Sachai but Lord needs a true disciple who lives
according to his will rather than massive quantity of people who followed him
for sake of gain. These people will certainly abandon him for not gaining what
they need. This is extremely serious issue.
Hence, Sachai Kendra is counted as
a cult movement because of their fragile beliefs about fundamental Christian
faith. Despite healing activities, which is merely a peripheral part of
Christian faith, they are pushing mass number of people in a wrong direction.
They are offering healing rather than a Savior.
