Hurting
In the Bible, the concept of "hurting" encompasses a range of meanings, primarily associated with physical pain, emotional distress, or spiritual suffering. The Hebrew word "ra'ah" (רָעָה) often denotes harm or evil, indicating actions that cause injury or suffering to others (e.g., Genesis 50:20). In the New Testament, the Greek word "kakos" (κακός) can similarly refer to moral or physical injury, highlighting the impact of sin and the fallen nature of humanity (James 4:17). Moreover, the Bible addresses the hurting of individuals both in terms of interpersonal relationships and the broader context of suffering in a fallen world. For example, Jesus speaks about healing the brokenhearted and binding up their wounds (Psalm 147:3), emphasizing God's compassion towards those who are hurting. Furthermore, the biblical narrative also provides a framework for understanding suffering, often portraying it as a means of growth or refinement (Romans 5:3-5), suggesting that while hurting is a part of the human experience, it can lead to greater hope and resilience through faith.
