Carrying What We Do Not Need To Carry! Part 3
CARRYING WHAT WE DO NOT NEED TO CARRY - Perry Stone, Jr.
He Carried Our Sicknesses:
While the forgiveness of sin is the central feature of Christ's work, Isaiah the prophet also indicated that the Messiah carried more than just our iniquities.
Isaiah 53:4 "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows".
Note that the common Hebrew word for sickness is Kholee. This Hebrew word is from the root chalah, meaning to be week, sick or afflicted. We read in Deut. 7:15 "And the Lord will take away from thee ::all sickness (kholee)..." This word is translated sickness in 1 Kings 17:7, 2 Kings 8:8.
The common word for pain is macob. This is used in Job 33:19. "He is chastened also with pain (macob)." Another verse in Jeremiah 51:8 reads, "take balm for her pain (macob)."
Alexander McLaren notes, "the Hebrews drew no sharp line of distinction between diseases of the body and those of the soul, as we are accustomed to draw. All sickness was taken to be consequence of sin." In other words, both sin and sickness are a result of the fall of Adam.
As Christ began to heal the sick in His day, Matthew quoted the seven hundred year old prophecy form Isaiah 53:4 being fulfilled through Jesus Christ. Notice the wording of the following passage:
"That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet saying, Himself took our infirmities and bare our sickness. Matthew 8:17
Christ not only bore our sins, He carried our sicknesses. For 2,000 years, God has healed the physical sicknesses of those who believe in Him.
Dear Heavenly Father help us to understand all of what dying on the cross for us entails so that we may become Free In You! To understand what being Free in You really means so that we can be a light here on earth for You and Your Kingdom. It is in Your name that we pray. Amen.
