The One who heals us

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.
(NKJV)

Mas ele foi traspassado por causa das nossas transgressões,
e esmagado por causa das nossas iniquidades;
o castigo que nos traz a paz estava sobre ele,
e pelas suas feridas fomos sarados.
(NAA)

Pero él fue herido por nuestras transgresiones,
molido por nuestros pecados.
El castigo que nos trajo paz fue sobre él,
y por sus heridas fuimos nosotros sanados.
(RVA - 2015)

We have a serious issue. I remember ever since I was a teenager KNOWING that I really needed help, and desperately wanting God to be real. It wasn’t until college that I really began to receive the healing from God that I knew I needed.

Thousands of years ago, the prophet Jeremiah wrote:

“Because from the least of them even to the greatest of them, Everyone is given to covetousness; And from the prophet even to the priest, Everyone deals falsely. They have also healed the hurt of My people slightly, Saying, ‘Peace, peace!’ When there is no peace”

This is still true. Pastors and Christian teachers all over the world are willing to say whatever people want to hear as long as it brings them some sort of benefit.

They preach prosperity if you will just give them your money, they moderate their words for fear of rocking the boat, they teach whatever useless piece of theology seems most interesting to them or to you at the time, but they won’t share JESUS.

WHO will help us to know JESUS?

How many people are out there who know already, in their hearts, that everything is NOT okay?

Chega! Enough! There IS NO PEACE. Something is wrong with us.

Someone had to do something, and it was Jesus. He got His hands dirty. He bore our sorrows. He understood our pain. And He took our punishment. HE is our healing.

Jesus said: “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
