Jesus Bore Your Sickness And Affliction
Wednesday, February 7th
TEXT: Isaiah 53:4-5
Key verse: Matthew 8:16 When the event came, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick.
Remember Jesus in your sickness or affliction. Remember that He too bore our sickness and was afflicted. It will help you. Remember He was wounded and suffered pain. He was afflicted. When you know that though you are sick, Jesus bore our sicknesses and pain upon Him. If you remember this, it is going to humble you and make you not feel ashamed because you are sick. For your Lord, He also borne sickness upon Him, sick by our sickness. Sickness and affliction humble you. It makes you not feel proud that you are afflicted, for He also was afflicted. So, remember Jesus. That humbles you. But how long did He remain in His affliction? How long did He remain in bearing our sickness? It was just for a time and today He is no longer afflicted physically. So, if you remember Jesus, it tells you that as Jesus overcame, you will overcome. As Jesus bore those things for a time when He was in the physical body, so you will not bear that thing forever. A time will come when you will put it off. That is why you should remember Jesus when you are sick.
You need to remember Jesus when you are sick because He feels with you when you are sick. The Bible says we are members of His body. He is the head and when a member of the body suffers, the body suffers with it. So, when you are afflicted, lying sick with pain or incapacitation, remember that Jesus is feeling it with you. You could have been up and down doing something for Jesus but you are lying down. His glory is at stake. You could have been somewhere preaching for Him. You would have been somewhere testifying or working for Him but you are lying down because of sickness. You are incapacitated and He feels it. Remember that when Jesus came to the house of Lazarus, He felt it over that man. He felt it with Mary and Martha as He cried.
Thought for the day: Remember Jesus in your sickness or affliction.
Song for the day: When I remember His promises, I shout Alleluia …
Bible reading for the day: Numbers 1-2
