That Christian Phrase

John,

I vaguely recall you touched on this awhile ago.  What’s your take on that phrase, “Hurting people hurt people; healed people heal people”?

Hi Brad.

As with most such clichés, it is misleading.  This is the truth of the matter: Ungodly people hurt people; godly hurt people hurt no one, but take their hurts to Jesus.  And as for the second half of that quote (which I have not heard before now), being healed does not make a person a healer any more than being baptized makes a person a baptizer.
