Thought for Today: “Jesus: Our Great Wounded Healer”

Jesus is the Great Physician; He is our wounded healer, and He is here to heal.

Of the Messiah (Jesus) the prophet Isaiah said, “He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.” (Isaiah 53:3)

As a wounded healer Jesus gave of Himself to heal those who were likewise wounded and in need.

Mark in his gospel said, “Healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons.” (Mark 1:34)

What this means is that we don’t have to face the pain alone.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalms 147:3)

Give it all over to Jesus and have your faith firmly established in Him, because He is your Great Physician. He is your wounded healer; and He is here to heal you.
