Spurgeon. Matthew 12:15 and Romans 6:17-28. Jesus Heals My Sin.

Jesus must have seen many sicknesses. We do not read that He was disgusted by the the various sickness, but that He waited patiently on every case. What a variety of evils must have fallen at His feet. Many ulcers and many sores. Yet He was ready for every kind of evil and He was victorious over every kind. Any arrow could have flown at Him from any direction and He would have put out its fiery power. The heat of fever or the cold of dropsy. The tiredness of palsy or the fits of madness of the filth of leprosy - all knew the power of His word and ran from His command. In every corner of the field He was triumphant over evil and received the worship of delivered slaves. He came, saw, and conquered wherever He went. It is even so right now. Whatever my own sickness may be, the Great Physician can heal me and whatever the state of others who I remember at this moment in prayer.

While we could talk about His power over physical sicknesses such as fever and cancer, I want us to focus on His power over my sin. My sin, most definitely the most severe form of human sickness. My child, my friend, my loved church, I have hope for you all when I remember the healing touch of my Master who can heal you of your sin. He who walked the earth delivering people from sin, still does so today. Oh His grace, let me go to Him right now. Let me praise Him right now as I remember how He brought His cure over sin. He did so by taking using Himself out sickness of sin. "By this stripes we are healed." Through his scouring and crucifixion, we can receive healing over the power of sin, as Romans 6-7 says. The church on earth and in heaven is filled with souls healed of sin, healed by our loving Physician. Oh my soul, speak aloud the wonders of His grace (Ephesians 2:1-10). May my shout be for the glory of the Lord.
