He took our infirmities and bore our diseases.
Matthew 8:17b
These words came from the prophet Isaiah several hundred years before "He," Y'shua, fulfilled them some two thousand years ago. The context for this short pericope describes ministry among people not of the Jewish religious culture from which Y'shua emerged. Prior to this verse, the writer explained how Y'shua healed an outcast leper, a Roman centurion's servant, a woman (females were not part of the religious culture), and various others who were physically or mentally ill and thus fell short of perfection. The prophesy applies to every human who ever lived or will live on planet Earth. The writer reveals to us the ultimate mystery that the Creator of everything, in the person of Y'shua, owns everyone's infirmities and diseases.
Shalom, Mother BE
