HAVE YOU BEEN HEALED FROM THE SICKNESS YOU WERE BORN WITH?

SCRIPTURE:
He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die 
to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed.  
(1 Peter 2:24)

MEDITATION:
Have you ever given thought to the fact that we were born sick?
You might say, “No, I was born a healthy child”.
But were you?
No, you (and everyone else) was born with a sickness called ‘sin’.

This is not a sickness that a doctor or psychiatrist can heal.
It is not a sickness that we can be healed by taking medicine.
It is not a sickness that can be healed by eating right and good exercise.
No, it is a terminal sickness that requires a great healer.

Healing requires the help of someone 
greater than man with all of his inventions and vaccines. 
There is only One who can heal us of this sickness - Jesus Christ!
The question is, “Will He heal us?” or “Will He only heal some of us?”
The answers are, “Yes, He will heal us” and “Yes, He will heal all of us”

Jesus worked all His life. 
But the greatest work that Jesus did was not in the carpenter’s shop, 
or even at the marriage feast of Cana where He turned the water into wine. 
The greatest work that Jesus did was not when He made the blind to see, 
the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak, nor even the dead to rise. 

The greatest work that Jesus did was not when 
He taught as One having authority, 
or when He scathingly denounced the Pharisees for their hypocrisy. 
The greatest work that Jesus did was not in the great ethical program He 
introduced to mankind - that program that teaches us to ‘love each other”.

No, the greatest work of Jesus was achieved in the dark hours on Calvary. 
Christ’s greatest work was His dying for us.
Because, when He did that for us, His wounds 
brought healing to the sickness we were born with.

There is no greater love 
than what He showed for every human being when He ‘bore our sins’.
His love for us gave us the opportunity to be healed from a terminal 
sickness and start living a life of righteousness that leads to eternal life.
What a Savior!

ACTION:
Are you still suffering from the terminal sickness you were born with?
Wouldn’t you like to be healed?
The choice is in your hands.
Go to the only Healer from this sickness and ask Him 
to become a part of your life and show you how to start living righteously. 

Pray,
“Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ! Thank You 
Jesus for what You did for all mankind, including me! I cannot 
imagine the pain and agony You suffered so that I could be healed. 
Heal me from any and all sicknesses of sin in my life so that I can 
live righteously and look forward to being with You for eternity. 
Remind me often of the three hours You suffered for me, so that I 
will sacrifice any of my selfish desires in order to spend time in Your 
house, worshipping You.”
