Isaiah 53:4 (CSB) 4 Yet he himself bore our sicknesses, and he carried our pains; but we in turn regarded him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.
Jesus is the only one who can carry our sicknesses and pains. Modern medicine only covers our sicknesses and pains, but Jesus heals, and removes them. Jesus can do this only because He submitted Himself to God. He became the answer to all of our sin and rebellion. Not an excuse to sin but an offering to cleanse us from our sins. Have we fully trusted Jesus as our savior, messiah, to save us from our sin, to welcome us into heaven? Have we fully trusted in Jesus as our Lord to do what He would tell us to do? Have we fully repented from our sins to get them washed away in the blood of Jesus? If so congrats we are children and friends of God! If not then we are aliens, foreigners, and strangers to God!
