ON “THE CURE FOR YOU”
Friend, one of the challenges we faced with some infectious diseases was that our bodies had no antibodies to fight them appropriately. Without a cure, humans were at the mercy of these diseases. Once you have the cure, you don’t have to fear the disease. But what about virus-like toxins that you can’t treat with a vaccine? What of guilt, fear, depression, addictions, and emotional diseases? Could a vaccine provide a cure? These can infect our thinking, poison our self-esteem, and make us sick with regrets, hurts, and disappointments. Here is the good news, the real cure: “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5, NIV). That’s it!!!
