TOPIC: HEALED BY HIS STRIPES
TEXT: ISAIAH 53:2-7
2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nought; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down aforetime into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nought? they that rule over them make them to howl, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Key Verse: “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed” (ISAIAH 53:5).
MESSAGE:
When Jesus went to the cross to die for us, He bore our sins and our guilt on Himself. Jesus, in demonstration of His love for humanity, also bore our sicknesses. He paid the price for our salvation from sin, healing from sicknesses and deliverance from oppression.
Before He was led to the cross, He was mercilessly beaten; oh, it was so painful! But Jesus bore it all so that we can have salvation and healing. He paid with His blood.
Anytime you feel a little bit sick, or any of your friends or loved ones is sick, just go to Jesus and claim healing because He suffered to gain healing for you.
Some children start crying or get worried whenever they are not feeling well; just pray to Jesus, for we are healed by His stripes. Hallelujah! Also, ask for prayer from your pastor and godly friends because the effectual fervent prayers of the righteous availeth much.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to always look unto You and trust in Your sacrifice for my healing and deliverance.
