The Incurable Cured

Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto them the abundance of peace and truth. - Jeremiah 33:6

    There is nothing more hopeless and helpless than sinful man. He is alone with himself in utter darkness and death, and ignorant thereof. The light that is in man is darkness, and how great is that darkness! Man, left to himself, is doomed to the eternal woes of separation from the presence of all that is good. The wounds of the fall are deadly, and incurable by anything short of a miracle of God‘s sovereign grace in Christ Jesus our Lord. Thanks be unto God; he opened a fountain for the healing of that deadly wound, whereby life, peace and truth flows freely to poor creatures of the dust, raising them up and sitting them among the princes of the Most High God.

    We spend all our life to make ourselves better and are the worse for it. Our Redeemer gave his life once in the end of the world to cure all his sheep’s deadly ills, and we are forever healed! Darkness and death are no match for the life-giving efficacy of the blood of the Lamb! The deadly ravages of our sin cannot contend with the balm of God’s sovereign, infinite love executed in and by our Great Physician!

    Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the Lord’s hand double for all her sins (Is 40:2).
