Dealing with Grief

When Jesus went to the cross, He bore our sin so that we can be spiritually healed (1Peter 2:24). He bore our sicknesses so we can be physically healed (Matthew 8:17), AND He bore our grief and our sorrows so we can be emotionally healed. He provided healing for the whole of man -- body, soul and spirit --inside and out.

In Luke 4:18b (Amplified Bible), Jesus says, God "has sent Me...to send forth delivered those who are oppressed [who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity]".

Does this describe you today? Have you been downtrodden? Are you bruised, crushed on the inside? Have you been broken down by calamity? Jesus bore all that inner pain for you so that you don't have to bear it!

Just talk to Him right now. Tell Him all about it. This Easter season, give all your sorrows to Jesus. Receive from Him all that He provided for you at the cross. May He flood you with His Presence, with His love, and with His peace -- that peace which passes all understanding (See Philippians 4:7).
