Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,
Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
Psalm 103:3-4
Remember learning in school the six following pronouns/questions:
Who? What? When? Where? Why? and How?
Have you ever stopped to wonder about these six questions when it comes to your relationship with Christ? The questions are relatively simple to answer:
- Who: Jesus Christ
- What: Ultimate Sacrifice
- When: Over 2000 years ago
- Where: Calvary, Galgotha….the place has many names
- Why: To redeem God’s children…to bring reconcilation between God and His children
- How: Nailed to the Cross
But, Christ does more for us than to reconcile us to God. As Psalms 103:3-4 has told us, we already know the answers. Jesus heals us of our iniquities. He heals us of our diseases. He has redeemed our lives from destruction. He loves us no matter what we do.
As we go through our lives, we deal with many trials and tribulations on a daily basis. At least the thought of WHO forgives us, heals us, redeems us, and loves us is a comfort in this turbulent world we live in.
For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him:
As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Psalms 103:11-12
The Lord shows great mercy to those who love and fear Him. For those of us who have personal relationships with Christ, we can be comforted in knowing that He loves us and forgives us no matter where we are at. Once we accept Jesus’ gift of love and eternal life, we are forgiven forever. We no longer have to worry about our past. We have a new lease on life. We are going to live forever with our Healer and Redeemer.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your healing, Your forgiveness, and our redemption. Without You, we would be nothing. We would have nothing. Thank You for Your comfort and the many blessings You give us on a daily basis. In Jesus ‘ name,
Amen.
