Morning with Ebenezer

 HEALING

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

1 Peter 2:24 NIV

Jesus said these words, greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends, John 15:13. Here Jesus was talking about Himself, because He came and died for us. This was the sign of His love for us, He gave up His love that we may have life.

We see the record of crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ in all the four books of the Gospel. This death of Jesus was predicted many years ago with prophets who lived in ancient Israel. For example Isaiah who lived 750 years before Christ wrote the following: 

People made fun of him, and even his friends left him. He was a man who suffered a lot of pain and sickness. We treated him like someone of no importance, like someone people will not even look at but turn away from in disgust.

The fact is, it was our suffering he took on himself; he bore our pain. But we thought that God was punishing him, that God was beating him for something he did. But he was being punished for what we did. He was crushed because of our guilt. He took the punishment we deserved, and this brought us peace. We were healed because of his pain.(Isaiah 53:3-5)

This morning, I just want you to know that there is healing in the blood of Jesus. The Bible says by his wounds we were healed. We have been healed from the wounds of the past, we have been healed from the guilt of sin and we have been forgiven from His death there on the old rugged cross.

Through Jesus we have the assurance of seeing the Father; because He is the only way, the truth and the life and no one will go to the Father without Him. Use this weekend to thank Jesus for the sacrifice that He has made for you and me. Thank Him for the healing, miracles and joy He has fill your heart. Thank Him for His is good and His love endures forever.
