"Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:4-5)
I present Jesus, the healer to you today.
There have been different opinions as to the meaning of the words 'griefs' and 'sorrows' in this verse; but if we will compare scriptures With scriptures light will shine on our hearts. According to Matt 8:16-17, the words are interpreted as 'infirmities' and 'sicknesses'
Viz:
" When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses." (Matt.8:16-17).
Isaiah 53:4 reveals then that 'healing is part of Christ's atonement'
The same sacrifice that atoned for our sin and made us forgiven is the same sacrifice by which we were healed once and for all.
Hence, the believer has been healed of the Lord as much as he has been forgiven.
You may want to ask then; "if God has healed the believer, why do some believers still fall sick? And if a beleiver is sick what should he do?"
The foremost thing, before analyzing people's experiences, is to accept what the word of God says about you. If the Word says you have been healed, then you are! You are what the word says you are !
I will answer the questions tomorrow. Blessed?

Jesus, The Healer (1)
"And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people." (Matt.4:23)
He healed all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people!
There were sick people in the days of Jesus who did not get healed because of their unbelief, yet there was no single sick person who approached Jesus for healing and did not get healed (Matt.14:34-36).
There were seventeen (17) dinstict instances in the synoptic gospels where Jesus healed all the sick people that were present; example (Matt. 4:23, Matt. 8:16-17, Matt.9:35, Matt.12:15, Matt.14:14, 34-36, Matt.15:30, Matt.19:2, Matt.21:14)
Of Him it was prophesied "But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with HEALING in His wings." (Malachi4:2)
When He sent forth His disciples to preach the gospel, they were commanded to heal the sick - It was a command - "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. FREELY you have received, FREELY give." (Matt.10:8) - it was a healing "bonanza"!
I make bold to say that Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever. He still heals today like He did back then. No sickness nor disease can defy the mighty power Jesus.
