Title: The Lord My Healer
Speaker: Darryl J. Stalter
Scripture: Matthew 8:1-17

The Old Testament prophet Isaiah promised concerning the coming Messiah, “He took our illnesses and bore our diseases.” Unfortunately, this precious promise of Scripture can be a source of division, condemnation, and doubt if not taken in its context. Although Jesus physically heals individuals in this passage, his desire is for so much more. He does not desire mere physical healing, but a complete healing that is a result of our faith in his completed work in the cross and resulting in our service for his glory.
