Life Healing

Mark 2:16-17

And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with

the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples,

“How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and

sinners?” When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who

are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 

I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”  (NKJ)

     There are those who recognize their sin infected condition and turn to the only One who can heal their wounds and stop the infection that leads to death.  And there are others who think they are either immune to the infection, are too proud to admit they are infected, or they simply deny the reality of their sickness.  And there are still others who believe they can heal themselves.  But the Truth is, my friends, without the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ, there is no hope of stopping the infection that decays the spirit and kills the soul.  Jesus was the spotless Lamb of God, whose sacrifice cleansed our infection and saved us from eternal death.  And it is the poor in spirit that are first on His list to be healed and saved—the people who are desperately searching for hope that would give them some peace about the array of discouraging circumstances that living in this fallen world brings them. 

     Jesus came to heal the sick and to save the downtrodden, not to make the healthy or the proud feel good about themselves.  He came to rescue those who are wandering like lost sheep, afraid, alone, wounded and dying, with no hope and no future.  Our Savior came, He saw, and He healed the sin condition of man, and in the process defeated the power of Satan.  He paid the price for our sins and brought us back into the Presence of our Holy God.   Since the dawn of time we have been infected with sin and death and the only cure is found in our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Without Jesus, there is only death and darkness.  You cannot deny the Truth and live.

                                 A Whisper of Hope

I AM your only Hope, child…that can save you from the darkness of death that sin has infected you with.  The power of sin is puny when compared to My Power.  When you live in Me, you have nothing to fear, for My Power is greater than your weakness.

1 Chronicles 29:11

Yours, O LORD, is the greatness, the power and the glory,

the victory and the majesty; for all that is in Heaven and in

Earth is Yours; Yours is the Kingdom, O LORD, and you are

exalted as Head over all.  (NKJ)

If we say we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves

               and refusing to accept the truth.

                              (1 John 1:9)
