Backside of Calvary

May 4, 2025    Pastor Greg V Hurd

In this powerful message, we're reminded that healing is not just a possibility, but a promise deeply rooted in Christ's sacrifice. Pastor Greg draws our attention to Isaiah 53 and 1 Peter 2:24, emphasizing that Jesus bore not only our sins but also our sicknesses. This dual nature of Christ's atonement is likened to two sides of the same coin - salvation and healing intertwined. We're challenged to see healing as instantaneous in God's eyes, even if our faith journey to receive it takes time. The story of the woman with the issue of blood serves as a poignant illustration of persistent faith overcoming societal and physical barriers. This message encourages us to labor in our rest, to actively engage with God's promises, and to resist the 'whipping post' of chronic illness. It's a call to renew our minds, to see ourselves as God sees us - already healed by Christ's stripes.
