v 24 “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” {I Peter 2:24}
Although mankind did, and still does, deserve the Fathers judgment for our falling away, instead in His great mercy for us, He sent His only begotten son to buy us back from the world. By our Lord’s shed blood we have been, not only were we purchased, but we were cleaned up {all of our sins were washed away} and we were healed in our souls {redeemed unto the Father} and bodies {this has to be one of the hardest things for us to accept, healing of our bodies from ALL [divers] manor of illness and disease}.
We cannot even in our wildest imaginations understand what our Lord did for us when He took on the sins of the world. What manors of sin and how much sin was there in the world at that time? I don’t have an answer to that question for only our Father can answer that. I do know that I for one am so very thankful every day for what my Lord did for me, for I was dead in trespasses and sin and He reached down and picked me up and cleaned me up {He’s still cleaning me up} and restored my connection to my Father. And as a bonus, I get eternal life with my brother and my Father. Now that’s a deal that I pray all of mankind will understand and accept.
Thank you my Father for your love and mercy for a sinner like me.
