The Ministry of Health and Healing
cannot comprehend. Looking upon the cross of Calvary, we can only
say, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting
life.”
John 3:16
.
Christ crucified for our sins, Christ risen from the dead, Christ
ascended on high, is the science of salvation that we are to learn and
to teach.
It was Christ “Who, existing in the form of God, counted not the
being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied
Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness
of men; and being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself,
becoming obedient even unto death, yea, the death of the cross.”
Philippians 2:6-8
, ARV.
“It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even
at the right hand of God.” “Therefore He is also able to save to the
uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He ever lives
to make intercession for them.”
Romans 8:34
;
Hebrews 7:25
.
“We do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our
weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without
sin.”
Hebrews 4:15
.
It is through the gift of Christ that we receive every blessing.
Through that Gift there comes to us day by day the unfailing flow
of God’s goodness. Every flower, with its delicate tints and its
fragrance, is given for our enjoyment through that one Gift. The sun
and the moon were made by Him. There is not a star that beautifies
the heavens that He did not make. Every drop of rain that falls,
every ray of light shed upon our unthankful world, testifies to the
love of God in Christ. Everything is supplied to us through the one
unspeakable Gift, God’s only-begotten Son. He was nailed to the
cross that all these bounties might flow to God’s workmanship.
“Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that
we should be called children of God!”
1 John 3:1
.
[244]
“Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
Isaiah 64:4.
