By His stripes we were healed

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed" 2 Peter 2:24. 

Jesus brought us peace with God by the means of His sacrifice. As He took all the sins of the world upon Himself, God's judgment fell not on us, but on Him. Most Christians know that. However, that is not all. He also took our infirmities, sicknesses, and all kinds of diseases upon Himself, so that we could be healed. The Scriptures give this fact in the past tense. We were healed. It takes faith to bring this promise into realization. Let's pray that God almighty would stop the current pandemic of the coronavirus, those that are infected would be healed, and the healthy ones would be protected from the disease. We have the right to pray like that because healing of our bodies is part of the redemption that Jesus gained for us on the cross.
