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.
