Psalm 107:20 - He sent His word and healed them.
Jesus Christ was God’s word made flesh. He was the Godhead
veiled in flesh, the divine human the exact representation and expression of
everything God was and is. Whoever saw Jesus saw God in human flesh. Since the beginning of time there has been no
man like him.
And as God in flesh, Jesus carried out perfectly the will of
God, and Jesus healed everyone that came to him. There we no exceptions,
everyone who came to Christ and believed was healed. This is God’s heart for
us; it is one of love, goodness and healing.
I Peter 2:24 tells
us “That by His stripes we were healed.”
Jesus’ death at the cross, not only paid the price for our
sins, it also paid the price for our healing. Death is a consequence of sin and
the root of sickness is death. Sickness holds our bodies in bondage, keeps us
chained up in illness and locks us into captivity. Jesus came to give us
victory over sin, to release all those that were captive and he healed all
those that we sick. Jesus came to set the oppressed free.
Christ’s word to us is healing; he died and suffered so that
we could receive healing in our soul, mind and body. His grace is the abundant overflow of God’s
love to us that united our spirit to him, cleanses our souls and heals our
body. He died in our place so that we might live in fullness of life.
