Completely healed!
(Maria Sandberg, "Glimpses of Heaven!" 1880)
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!
cleanses us from all sin!"
1 John 1:7
