The Lord has begun to heal us and the healing virtue which His Grace has infused into us will work us health and cure till we shall be without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing! His salvation will also perfectly heal our bodies. We are on our way to eternal health! We have the life within us which is to be perfect forever and ever!
Tell the case to Jesus just as you would mention a physical case to a doctor. He is ready to hear it all and to consider it. Make a confidant of Jesus! This is the healing point. He took her by the hand and lifted her up. There was a contact established. Oh, that glorious Doctrine of the Incarnation of Christ! There is healing in it! If you believe in the Lord Jesus, He is in contact with you, His cool hand is grasping your fevered hand and as your fever dissolves into Him, for He Himself bore our sicknesses, His health flows into you so that you may arise and minister unto Him!
There is, then, an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ and His salvation. Not only is His fruit sweet and nourishing, but the leaves, the little things, as it were, about Christ, are full of healing virtue. There grows no healing herb but the one plant of renown. There is one sacred Fountain, to wash, therein, is health, there is but one, it was opened on Calvary! There is one great Physician who lays His hands on men and they are restored, there is but one! And so until the Glory life begins, the abiding power of the healing leaves keeps the soul of the Believer in perpetual health and will keep him so, world without end!
Observe that the healing power is conspicuously present when Christ is teaching. Jesus linked the healing with the teaching. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. That healing power is present for you now as you look to Him. Oftentimes when, by some sin, a sinner weakens his body, his cure is much helped by his repenting. The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick, no need to say it when the Lord comes and dwells with them, for the Sun of Righteousness has risen with healing in His wings. Pardon and healing were one! Why should you say, I am sick? If a man could be sure of perfect health tomorrow, he would say little about the sickness of an hour. You have His promise of eternal wholeness.
Calvary is the place for the healing balm. The work of Jesus, our heavenly Physician, is not so much to point out disease as to indicate and to apply the remedy. He is able to heal. Ask to be forgiven and healing will come from the pardoning hand. God bless you!
