(Jesus healed our Spirit; not our flesh)
In my quest to find truth I have received so many revelations. I so truly loved the Lord why? Because he FIRST loved me. I want so much to know the pure truth. Not truth from man, but from the Spirit.
So many times I have heard the scripture over and over, “by his stripes we are healed”. After I was born again I became physically sick. I just could not understand it. If I was made “whole” then why was I sick. Then people would say cause you haven’t received the healing for your physical body. Well, it would seem that if I was born again and believed that then the “healing my physical body” would be simple to believe. Can’t need more faith for healing the physical than the spiritual.
So I moved on looking for truth. One day it hit me the whole Bible is a Parable and those that have an “ear” let them “hear” what the Spirit is saying. I knew with my whole heart after reading a website with all the incidents of Jesus healing the sick that it was not about the physical sickness it was a spiritual sickness. The parable told not in simple words, but in events in people’s lives. There is nothing that speaks more of the reality of sin and judgement than disease and death, and there is nothing that reveals more of God’s saving love and grace than healing and health. This is why healing was Jesus’ ministry, why healing was constantly a part of his interaction with people. He used healing to reveal himself to people.
The Great Physician comes from the fact that Jesus referred to Himself twice as a physician. Once he was referring to the rejection of Himself in His native town: “You will surely say this proverb to Me, “physician, heal yourself””, Luke 4:23. He had just read in the synagogue from Isaiah about God’s servant sent to proclaim liberty, recovery and healing.
The second time is record in Matthew, Mark and Luke. Jesus was dining with the tax collectors and sinncer at Matthew’s house. When the Pharisees grumbled and asked Him why He ate with them, Jesus replied, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance” (Luke 5:31-32).
Can Jesus heal our flesh? Yes.
