A wounded Saviour

for wounded people1Cor. 1:26ff


28/39


Why the need for healing?

wounded soldiers are not suited for battle

bitterness is sourced from long-heldunforgiveness about a wound we received,and unforgiveness hinders prayer (Luke 11:4)

hurting people have tended to hurt otherpeople (its handed down).

Uprooting a wound will hurt to heal


29/39


Jesus was wounded for our healing:

Uprooting a wound will hurt to heal

a) He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their

wounds(Ps.147:3)

b) By His wounds we are healed.(Is. 53:5)

c) He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted andset the oppressed free.(Luke 4:18)

d)A bruised reed He will not break. A flickeringwick He will not snuff out.(Matt. 12:20)
