A Wonderful Saviour

IN Jesus Christ there is help for the infirmities of body and mind, as well as for the tendencies to sin. He “took our infirmities, and bare our diseases.” Thus could he be “touched with the feeling of our infirmities” as in no other way. To the man sick of the palsy he said, “Thy sins are forgiven;” to the infirm woman, “Thou art loosed from thine infirmity.” He was “in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” It is a wonderful thing to have a Saviour who saves from sin; but it is also a wonderful thing, a blessed, consoling thing, to have a Saviour whose joy it is to help and encourage and comfort in every experience in life—ever present in sickness as well as in health, in times of sorrow as well as in times of joy, in times of scarcity as well as in times of plenty, in night as well as in day, through the valley of death as well as on the mountain tops and the meadows of life. Such a Saviour, helper, friend, and brother is Jesus Christ the Lord, who was bruised for our iniquities, and by whose stripes we are healed.
