Lunch: Healing and Salvation


1 Peter 2:24

He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

Read Chapter 2 of 1 Peter

There are two kinds of healing: physical; and spiritual. Some interpret this verse as referring to physical healing, while others believe it to be a reference to spiritual healing. Personally, I believe it is a reference to spiritual healing. Spiritually, we are all sick. Jesus heals us. Amen!

As a result of being healed spiritually, I don't have to worry about my physical well being. Whether sick or healthy, injured or fit, I live with the confidence of my salvation.

With regard to Adam, I have every confidence that he has been spiritually healed, which is more important. We can all praise God for that. Whether he is (fully) physically healed is yet to be seen. Let's rejoice in Adam's spiritual healing and salvation...and keep praying for his physical healing.

1 Peter 1:9

for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.



Pray

• That Adam's clarity and memory would improve.

• For Adam's ability to process information.

• For God to bring increasing volume to Adam's speech.

• That God would guide the hands of the surgeon operating on Amy's back.

We'll pray together, again, at dinner time.
