"Christ carried our sins in his body on the cross so that freed from our sins, we could live a life that has God's approval. His wounds have healed you." 1 Peter 2:24 God's Word to the Nations

How many times did you mom kiss your owies? That's what moms do when we hurt, and nine times out of ten, the owies felt better after her kiss, right?

Life seems to be a series of owies for many of us.  We think that we've survived or heal from one problem only to find ourselves bleeding from another. These owies come in all sorts of forms.  Our bodies are wounded, our spirits are wounded, and our souls are wounded.

Who kisses these owies?

The greatest owie that any human creature experienced was Jesus. There were other people who had been crucified, probably some who suffered a greater physical pain than Jesus, yet his owie reached not only his body, but his spirit and soul.

"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

In the forsakenness of the cross, we experience God kissing our deepest owie, God healing our broken sinful condition. Healing at the depth of our spirit and soul is in the hands of God, a God whose hands were pierced on a cross for us.

Healing is in the hands of God.
