Whole

Whole.  This word, when seen in the bible, besides meaning "entire," is connected with the word "hale," and means "healthy and strong."  I think in English we've lost that important connection between being healthy and strong, and being whole.  Being all.  Having all.  Not being cut into pieces.  Not lacking or leaving out parts. 
   Whole.  Being one person whose words, actions and heart are one.  We don't unlive unlives by suppressing our hearts.  We look heavenward for our hearts to be matured and redeemed, and we live them as they mature and get redeemed.  Anything else is what scripture calls "the flesh," and is the opposite of salvation.  A substitute for it.  A pretense of it.
   Whole.  Good food is wholesome.  In the Old Testament, wise men discussed "the whole matter," so as to reach some conclusion and not do things half-wittedly and half-heartedly.  Our eye is to be unified, focused, single (not crosseyed and double-visioned) so our whole body can be full of light and vision. 
   Whole.  Jesus made people whole.  He dealt with "the whole mulitude" at a time, when one was gathered, just as God deals with the whole church now, and not our little subsets of it.  When a smug or self-satisfied, or a narrow-hearted, spiteful spirit infects Christians, it infects the whole "lump," which means everything.  The contagion doesn't stay in the individual congregations.
