“To the Broken-Hearted” | D. L. Moody Sermon | A Message for Troubled Souls | Hope for the Hurting

“He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted.” – Luke 4:18 In this sermon, D.L. Moody reflects on Christ’s mission “to heal the broken-hearted,” reminding us that no one is exempt from sorrow and that every heart carries its own burdens. Moody points his listeners to Jesus as the Great Physician who alone can bear our griefs and bring true comfort. He urges us not to carry our pain on our own, but to bring every burden to Christ — no matter how heavy. I hope this message encourages you, strengthens your faith, and assures you that in Christ there is real healing and hope for every broken heart!

L. Moody, was an American evangelist and publisher connected with Keswickianism, who founded the Moody Church, Northfield School and Mount Hermon School in Massachusetts (now Northfield Mount Hermon School), Moody Bible Institute, and Moody Publishers. One of his most famous quotes was "Faith makes all things possible... Love makes all things easy." Moody gave up his lucrative boot and shoe business to devote his life to revivalism, working first in the Civil War with Union troops through YMCA in the United States Christian Commission. In Chicago, he built one of the major evangelical centers in the nation, which is still active. Working with singer Ira Sankey, he toured the country and the British Isles, drawing large crowds with a dynamic speaking style. (source: Wikipedia) “To the Broken-Hearted,” a sermon by Dwight L.

A great many think that is all Christ came to do—to save sinners. Now, we are told that he came, to be sure, to “seek and save that which was lost;” but then he came to do more. He came “to heal the broken-hearted.” In that 18th verse of the 4th chapter of Luke, which I read to you last night, he said that the Spirit of the Lord was upon him, and that he was “anointed to preach the gospel to the poor,” and in the next sentence he tells us, he is “sent to heal the broken-hearted.” In another place we are told, he came into the world to declare who the Father was, and reveal him to the sons of men. Tonight I want to take up this one thought—that Christ was sent into the world “to heal the broken-hearted.” When the Prince of Wales came to this country, a few years ago, the whole country was excited as to his purpose. What was his object in coming here? Had he come to look into our republican form of government, or our institutions; or was it simply to see and be seen? He came and he went, without telling us what he came for. When the Prince of Peace came into this dark world, he did not come in any private way. He tells us that he came, not to see and be seen, but to “seek and save that which was lost,” and also “to heal the broken-hearted.” And in the face of this announcement, it is a mystery to me why those who have broken hearts will rather carry them year in and year out, than just bring them to this great physician. How many men in Chicago are just going down to their graves with a broken heart? They have carried their hearts weighted with trouble for years and years; and yet, when they open the Scriptures, they can see the passage telling us that he came here for the purpose of healing the broken-hearted. He left heaven and all its glory to come to the world—sent by the Father, he tells us, for the purpose of healing the broken-hearted. You will find, my friends, that there is no class of people exempt from broken hearts. The rich and the poor suffer alike. There was a time, when I used to visit the poor, that I thought all the broken hearts were to be found among them; but within the last few years I have found there are as many broken hearts among the learned as the unlearned, the cultured as the uncultured, the rich as the poor. . . .
