Meditate
On
And
He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be
healed of your affliction.”
Mark
5:34
Go Into And Remain In Peace
I
had always thought that when Jesus told the woman who had been healed of a
12-year bleeding condition to “Go in peace,” He was just giving her a farewell
greeting. One day, the Lord told me to check it up in the Greek. That’s when I
found out that it actually reads, “Go into peace.”
I
had also wondered why Jesus told her to “be healed of your affliction” when she
was already healed the moment she touched Him. Again, when I looked up that
phrase in the Greek, I realized that Jesus was actually telling her to be made
whole, not just healed. In other words, Jesus ushered her into peace so that
she could be made whole in every way—if she had been traumatized by previous
medical procedures, she would have peace of mind and sound sleep.
My
friend, Jesus not only wants to heal you, but He also wants to make you whole.
Perhaps many things are troubling you today. Beloved, go into peace and remain
in peace. How? By casting all your cares to the Lord. Keep your mind on Jesus’
faithfulness and goodness, and His perfect love for you. The Prince of Peace
Himself will keep you in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3), bringing about healing
and wholeness in your body and circumstances.
Blessings,
Joseph
