We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ heals the sick
Did Jesus die:
- for our problems? No, we do not find this anywhere in the Scriptures.
- for tribulation (dear futurist believer please think i this)? No, we do not find this anywhere in the Scriptures.
- so that we would not have to go through hardship? No, we do not find this anywhere in the Scriptures.
Did Jesus die:
- for our sins. Yes, absolutely.
- for our sickness and infirmities? Yes absolutely.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
The promise of healing is not merely a “spiritual” healing as Matthew clearly demonstrates:
Matthew 8:16 When the even was come, 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:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
