"The Blood Of JESUS CHRIST Cleanses Us From All Sin!"

Completely healed!
(Maria Sandberg, "Glimpses of Heaven!" 1880)

"The leaves of the tree are
for the healing of the nations."
Revelation 22:2

We will not endeavor to explain this
verse, but rather confine ourselves
to meditation on a topic so delightful
as the healing of our souls from 
the dreadful disease of sin.

If we are Christians, we know that
our present state is one of spiritual
sickness; and that none but JESUS
can be our Great PHYSICIAN.

We have need continually to utter
the cry, "Heal my soul, for I have 
sinned against YOU!" Daily and
hourly have we need to go with 
our soul sicknesses and infirmities
to our heavenly PHYSICIAN, 
and entreat HIM to heal us, 
and strengthen us.

Naturally there is no spiritual health
in us; and it is, indeed, a source
of exquisite joy when we feel that
JESUS has, by HIS all-powerful
SPIRIT, undertaken the cure
of our souls.

And exquisite also is the joyous
prospect of entire renovation and
spiritual health in Heaven, when
we shall eat of the tree of life,
and be completely healed!

Oh, the more we know 
of our spiritual weaknesses, 
infirmities, and sins--
the greater will be our joy 
at the prospect of eternal 
deliverance from them!

Blessed SAVIOR! Undertake and 
carry on the work of restoration, until 
it is perfected in YOUR  paradise above! 

In the case of our souls, we are sure 
that the blood of JESUS CHRIST 
can cleanse us, and the power of 
JESUS can heal us. Ours cannot 
be a desperate case, for our 
PHYSICIAN is Almighty!

"The blood of JESUS CHRIST 
cleanses us from all sin!" 
1 John 1:7
