Matthew 9:6

I am thankful for the healing and forgiveness given through Jesus Christ 

At its very heart, the message of the gospel is forgiveness. We are all born into sin and enemies of God. Yet because of His unequaled love, the Lord provided the way to forgiveness. When Christ came to earth, He came both as fully man and fully God. And only He has the God given authority and power to forgive and heal all who call on him as Lord. Many times before he performed healing, Jesus first forgave people of their sins. Why? Theologian Matthew Poole puts it this way. Jesus first forgave sins, because sin is the root from which all evil comes. And first and foremost, sin was the reason Jesus came. The healings He performed were beautiful, loving, miracles from a Father who loves and cares for His children. Crowds who witnessed the miracles of Jesus gave God the glory. And for the forgiveness and healing He gives to us, we too should sing praises of the glory of God!

Luke 7

In Luke 18:8 Jesus asks, “When the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?” Why is faith so important to God? Hebrews 11:6 gives us the answer. “Without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” In order to please God we not only need to believe that He is who He says He is, but also trust in His promise to reward our faithfulness. …

1 Peter 2:24-25

With each strike of the whip, the flesh of Jesus was savagely ripped open. Bruised, bloody, and beaten beyond recognition, the suffering Christ endured was beyond compare. Only to be followed by an agonizing, criminal’s death on the Cross. And Jesus suffered all of this for us. He willingly took our flogging, beating, and death. He bore our sins and paid our debt, so we could be free. Because of the Lord’s shed blood, no longer are we condemned, dead in our trespasses, and trapped in the bondage of sin. By His wounds we have been healed from the penalty, poison, and price of sin. Because with every stripe our Savior endured, He paid in full every sin we have or will commit. Through His glorious death and resurrection, we are free to live a righteous life that glorifies Christ and His amazing sacrifice!

Psalm 147:3

During the pandemic, we gained a new appreciation for health care workers. Those who everyday answered the call to help the suffering. As Christians, we have the greatest frontline worker of all, God. He is on call 24-7 ready, willing, and able to rush to the rescue of all who call upon Him for help. And there is no injury, beyond His healing. No matter what hurts, God can bind the injury, and ease the pain. He is our Father in heaven who loves us with an unfathomable and unending love. And when His children hurt, He wants us to come to Him,  o appointment needed! To trust in His love, grace, and ability to cure our minds, bodies, and spirits, of all wounds. When we turn to Him, God will wrap us in His arms of love and mending. He will give us rest and recuperation. And best of all, His mending leaves no scar, is free of charge, and leaves us better off than we were before we were hurt!

Acts 3:19

When Peter healed the lame beggar, the people were amazed. But Peter wanted them, and us, to know that this healing is available to all. For the man’s deliverance came through the name of Jesus Christ, the name above all others. Believing in His name and authority, can heal every affliction in our souls. Because when return to the Lord in confession and repentance, He is faithful to both heal and restore us back to Himself. And we too will experience times of refreshing and will rejoice in His salvation.
