Topical Encyclopedia

In the biblical context, "hurt" encompasses physical injury, emotional pain, and spiritual harm. The concept of hurt is addressed throughout Scripture, reflecting the human experience of suffering and the divine response to it.

Physical Hurt:

Physical hurt is often depicted in the Bible as a consequence of violence, conflict, or divine judgment. In the Old Testament, the physical suffering of individuals and nations is frequently recorded. For example, in the context of divine retribution, God warns of physical harm as a consequence of disobedience: "But if you do not obey Me and do not carry out all these commandments, if you reject My statutes and despise My ordinances, and fail to carry out all My commandments, and so break My covenant, then I will do this to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting disease, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain your life" (Leviticus 26:14-16).

The New Testament also acknowledges physical hurt, particularly in the persecution of believers. Jesus forewarns His disciples of the physical suffering they will endure for His sake: "You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death" (Luke 21:16).

Emotional Hurt:

Emotional hurt is a significant theme in the Psalms, where the psalmists often express feelings of distress, betrayal, and sorrow. David, in particular, frequently cries out to God in his emotional pain: "I am worn out from groaning; all night long I flood my bed with weeping and drench my couch with tears" (Psalm 6:6). The Bible acknowledges the reality of emotional hurt and provides a model for bringing such pain before God in prayer.

Spiritual Hurt:

Spiritual hurt, or the damage to one's relationship with God, is a profound concern in Scripture. Sin is often depicted as the root cause of spiritual hurt, separating individuals from God. The prophet Isaiah declares, "But your iniquities have built barriers between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He does not hear" (Isaiah 59:2).

The New Testament offers the remedy for spiritual hurt through the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Peter writes, "He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By His stripes you are healed" (1 Peter 2:24). This healing encompasses not only physical and emotional hurt but also the restoration of the spiritual relationship with God.

Divine Response to Hurt:

The Bible consistently portrays God as compassionate and responsive to human hurt. In the Old Testament, God is described as a healer and comforter: "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds" (Psalm 147:3). The New Testament further reveals God's response to hurt through the ministry of Jesus, who healed the sick, comforted the sorrowful, and offered forgiveness to sinners.

Believers are encouraged to cast their cares upon God, trusting in His care and provision: "Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). The promise of God's presence and comfort is a recurring assurance for those experiencing hurt.

Human Response to Hurt:

Scripture also instructs believers on how to respond to hurt, both in themselves and others. Christians are called to bear one another's burdens and to offer comfort and support: "Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:2). Forgiveness is a central tenet in responding to hurt, as Jesus taught His followers to forgive others as they have been forgiven by God (Matthew 6:14-15).

In summary, the Bible addresses the multifaceted nature of hurt, offering both a realistic portrayal of human suffering and a hopeful message of divine healing and restoration.

HURT

hurt: The term (noun and verb) represents a large number of Hebrew words, of which the chief are ra` (verb ra`a`), "evil" (Genesis 26:29 1 Samuel 24:9 Psalm 35:4, etc.), and shebher or shebher (from shabhar), "a fracture" or "breaking" (Jeremiah 6:14; Jeremiah 8:11, 21; 10:19; compare Exodus 22:10, 14). In Greek a principal verb is adikeo, "to do injustice" (Luke 10:19 Revelation 2:11; Revelation 6:6, etc.); once the word "hurt" is used in the King James Version (Acts 27:10, story of Paul's shipwreck) for hubris, "injury" (thus the Revised Version (British and American)). In the Revised Version (British and American) "hurt" sometimes takes the place of other words in the King James Version, as "sick" (Proverbs 23:35), "breach" (Isaiah 30:26), "bruise" (Jeremiah 30:12 Nahum 3:19); sometimes, on the other hand, the word in the King James Version is exchanged in the Revised Version (British and American) for "evil" (Joshua 24:20), "harm" (Acts 18:10), or, as above, "injury" (Acts 27:10). These references sufficiently show the meaning of the word-harm, bruise, breaking, etc. In Jeremiah (ut supra) the word is used figuratively for moral disease or corruption.
