HEALING FOR PHYSICAL NEEDS (3 OF 6)

Healing For Physical Needs
The Significance of Suffering

Isaiah 53:4- 5 -- (4) "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
(5)But 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."

Whatever illness or pain that you go through, the Lord Jesus Christ experienced that pain and ...
