OUR LORD JESUS IS THE CREATOR. In Him is life, healing and health. He is the Great Physician. He comes to us this morning, and He asks, "Wilt thou be made whole?" This is a searching question. Are you willing to be sanctified thoroughly? Are you willing for Him to use what means He pleases to conform you to Himself? Jesus is able to sanctify us wholly; the time of mercy is now; are we desirous of being healed? If so, let us put ourselves into His hands for the purpose; let us submit without hesitation to His terms; He performs the cure and receives all the glory. Let us not fancy that our case is hopeless, but let us look to Jesus who will heal us, and heal fully and freely. Open thy whole case to Him, consult Him daily, trust Him implicitly, and expect to shine before the Father's throne as proof of His grace and kindness. While Jesus lives to heal, no case can be desperate, no sinner can be too poor, for He heals without money and without price. O Jesus! heal us this morning! Soften our hardened hearts. Heal our stubborn wills. Elevate our earthly affections. Fill us with holiness, fill us with love. We wait at Thy feet and we trust in Thy word.
For Meditation:
Jesus, to Thee for help I call,
With pitying eye behold me fall,
Unworthy 'neath Thy throne;
O heal my soul, remove my sin,
Make Thou the filthy leper clean,
Soften the heart of stone.
