A.W. Tozer explores the concept of 'faithful wounds' in his sermon, emphasizing that true wounds come from God and are essential for spiritual growth. He reflects on the life of Julian of Norwich, who prayed for three wounds: contrition, compassion, and longing for God, demonstrating a deep desire for spiritual maturity. Tozer argues that these wounds are necessary for true repentance and compassion, as they strip away self-assurance and lead to a closer relationship with God. He illustrates this through biblical figures like Jacob and Elijah, who were transformed through their wounds. Ultimately, Tozer encourages believers to embrace these wounds as a path to deeper faith and connection with Christ.
