| And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.” |
| Mark 5:34 |

Go Into And Remain In Peace | |
I had always thought that
when Jesus told the woman who had been healed of a 12-year bleeding
condition to “Go in peace,” He was just giving her a farewell greeting.
One day, the Lord told me to check it up in the Greek. That’s when I
found out that it actually reads, “Go into peace.”
I had also wondered why Jesus told her to “be healed
of your affliction” when she was already healed the moment she touched
Him. Again, when I looked up that phrase in the Greek, I realized that
Jesus was actually telling her to be made whole, not just healed. In other words, Jesus ushered her into peace
so that she could be made whole in every way—if she had been
traumatized by previous medical procedures, she would have peace of mind
and sound sleep.
My friend, Jesus not only
wants to heal you, but He also wants to make you whole. Perhaps many
things are troubling you today. Beloved, go into peace and remain in
peace. How? By casting all your cares to the Lord. Keep your mind on
Jesus’ faithfulness and goodness, and His perfect love for you. The
Prince of Peace Himself will keep you in perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3),
bringing about healing and wholeness in your body and circumstances.
