Matthew 8:16-17 ~ with a Word and healed all who were sick

 

Matthew 8:16-17

That evening they brought to Him many who were oppressed by demons, and He cast out the spirits with a Word and healed all who were sick. 

This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.”

Isaiah 53:4

Surely, He took on our infirmities 

and carried our sorrows; 

yet, we considered Him stricken by God, 

struck down and afflicted.  

But He was pierced for our transgressions,

 He was crushed for our iniquities; 

the punishment that brought us peace 

was upon Him, 

and by His stripes 

we are healed. 

Isaiah 53

Yet, it was the will of the Lord to crush Him;

    He has put him to grief;

when His Soul makes an offering for guilt

    He shall see His offspring; 

He shall prolong His days;

the will of the Lord shall prosper in his Hand.

11 Out of the anguish of His soul 

He shall see and be satisfied

By His knowledge shall the Righteous One, my servant,

    make many to be accounted righteous,

    and He shall bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the many,

    and He shall divide the spoil with the strong,

because He poured out His soul to death

    and was numbered with the transgressors;

yet He bore the sin of many,

    and makes intercession for the transgressors. 

Abba, Father,

Our heart hears the call from You.

We know to have held Jesus to

trial and death as a false prophet 

would incur egregious error.

And we see in Scripture 

the mercy of the merciful

Luke 17:17-19

Then Jesus answered, 

“Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 

Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 

And He said to him, 

“Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”

Help us to live each day

putting You first.

As the Name of Jesus covers us

and the Holy Spirit dwells in us.

We ask healing

of Your Good Creation

The fullness of the earth is Yours.

The healing of those we pray for
in our heart and soul.

Dwell in us, Father,

Dwell fully in those we love,

Help us to seek You first

and we will finish well in Jesus Christ.

Thank You.

Our God is working. His Son, 

Jesus is working.

Amen.
