How does Jesus heal the broken-hearted?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus heals the broken-hearted by providing them with new hearts that believe and love Him.

The healing of the broken-hearted, as referenced in Luke 4:18, encompasses a profound transformation that Jesus brings to individuals who recognize their spiritual condition. This brokenness is not about emotional hurt but rather an acknowledgment of one's sinful state and the recognition that one's heart is inherently flawed and incapable of fulfilling God's righteousness. Jesus confronts this reality by offering a new heart, as seen in Ezekiel 36:26, where God promises to give His people a new heart and spirit. This divine exchange empowers individuals to believe in Christ and love God genuinely. Healing, therefore, occurs through the new birth where the individual is transformed into a new creation, enabling them to love and serve God with a renewed spirit.
