Introduction: Have you ever suffered? Are you suffering now? Guess what? Jesus suffered for us, and then blazed a trail for us to follow. Check out Peter’s inspired words to CHRISTians in this short devotion.
JESUS is our PEACE – GIVER, Body – Healer, PROMISE – KEEPER! (1Peter 2:21-24)
“For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”
1. Jesus our PEACE – Giver! (John 14:27; John 14:1)
Real Peace comes from the God of the Bible. (see Psa 103:1-4)
2. Jesus our Healer! (1Pet 2:21-24)
Jesus heals our mind, our will and our emotions. He also heals our bodies.
But perhaps the greatest healing is spiritually! He heals our heart with a new heart! (Eph 2:1-10)
Conclusion: Do you need healing from hurts of the past? Jesus Christ is our healer. Trust Him today.
Love y’all,
