1 Peter 2:24 New International Version (NIV)
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

Jesus suffered on the cross. He was beaten with fists. Jesus had his beard ripped from his face. The Lord was whipped by leather straps that contained glass and bone. Nail like thorns were pounded into his skull. Jesus bore our sickness on the cross.

Isaiah 53:4-5 Amplified Bible (AMP)
4 Surely He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy].

5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.

You do not have to bear grief. You do not have to carry sorrow. You do not have to pay the price for your transgressions. You don't have to be sick any more. Jesus bore it all for you. Let go and let God. Accept, believe, receive, and be healed by what Jesus has done for you. Believe and the power of God will heal your body.

Speak the Word:By Jesus' stripes I was healed. Jesus bore the punishment. Jesus suffered so that I would not have to. Jesus went to the cross so that I would be healed.
