Staying in the Game: Healing Our Injuries
Who goes through life without injuries? Hardly anyone reading this has suffered an injury resulting in physical paralysis, but we all have our own hurts. Not all of them are physical injuries. Most are emotional injuries. Some grew up in a dysfunctional family. Others experienced abuse or rejection. Maybe we can’t point to any significant traumas in our lives, but our human nature, broken by sin, tends to attract “injury.” The greatest injury of all was that suffered by Jesus. According to Isaiah 53, He was despised and rejected, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. The injuries that were inflicted on Him were done so by us. But the good news is that Jesus did not retaliate against those who injured Him, but the amazing thing about His grace is that by His injuries we are healed. Why not let the Healer take over your injuries?
