Jesus and the concept of healing are one. Jesus is the center, foundation, cornerstone and apex of salvation and all its elements, healing being one. The healings Jesus performed demonstrated His:
  • compassion
  • forgiveness of sin
  • resurrection of the dead
  • establishment of the Kingdom
  • being sent from God
  • power on earth
  • Sonship to the Father
  • power over Satan and demons
  • authority over the Sabbath
  • cleansing of sinners in spirit
Jesus gave everything for mankind and the Plan of God. He died for our sins that we might be relieved of all our infirmities, whether physical, mental or spiritual. 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.
