Easter is a joyful celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It symbolizes hope, peace, and the power of forgiveness for all who believe. This devotional about Easter healing from Pastor Joseph Prince is a blessin to me. I hope it blesses you too.
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5
One of the reasons we can rejoice in the knowledge that Jesus has borne the punishment that was due us: forgiveness and healing go hand in hand.
The Bible says that He who never broke a single law of God “was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed” (Isa. 53:5).
Do you see how healing and the price for our forgiveness are so closely intertwined in God’s Word?
What does it mean to have Easter healing?
Many today are struggling to heal themselves from their sicknesses, diseases, mental dysfunctions, and addictions. I want to announce to you today that our part is to receive forgiveness from Jesus. It includes to believe that God has forgiven us every single day. The more forgiveness-conscious we are, the more easily we will experience healing. That expands to our liberty from every bodily ailment, mental oppression, and destructive habit.
One of my favorite psalms goes like this: “Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases” (Ps. 103:1–3).
Now which comes first? The consciousness that all your sins are forgiven precedes the healing of all your diseases!
And the operative word here is all. Some of us are comfortable with receiving partial forgiveness in certain areas of our lives. But we refuse to allow Jesus’ forgiveness to touch some dark areas. That is, areas that we can’t let go of and that we can’t forgive ourselves for. Whatever those mistakes may be, I encourage you to allow Jesus to forgive you of all your sins. Dare to receive healing for all your diseases.
