Jesus Heals Our Wounds

Last night at the General Council of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, we had a communion and healing service. It was a great time of reflection on how Jesus is not only our Savior, but through His own suffering and death, he also brings healing to our lives.

Life often leaves us with wounds—some seen, many hidden. 

But Scripture points to a Savior who not only sees our pain but enters into it with us. Jesus, the Great Physician, does more than mend our brokenness; He transforms it. 

Isaiah 53 tells us that by His wounds, we are healed. That means our healing is intimately tied to the suffering Jesus endured on our behalf.

Healing might not always be instant, but it is always available to those who seek Him. Emotional, spiritual, and even physical wounds are not beyond His reach. And while scars may remain, they no longer define us—they testify to His mercy.

Scripture:

Isaiah 53:5 - But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.

Application:
Spend time in prayer asking Jesus to reveal areas in your heart that still need healing. Surrender and emotional of spiritual wounds to Him and allow Him to bring the healing. 

If you are in need of physical healing, know that He has the power to restore what it broken. He is our Great Physician.

Prayer:
Jesus, thank You for bearing my wounds on the cross. You see the pain I carry, and You care deeply for every part of me. Heal the broken places in my life. Help me trust Your gentle hands, knowing that You are faithful to restore what’s been lost. I surrender my wounds to You and ask for the courage to walk in healing.
