Back to Christ's Comfort for Weary Pilgrims!

("http://gracegems.org/C/Smith.htm" James Smith)

"Who heals all your diseases." Psalm 103:3

The Lord is the great Physician. He is especially the healer of the soul. 

The patient is a believer. 

The cause of all sorrow and suffering is sin. 

The seat of the malady is in the heart.

The nature of the malady is most loathsome and afflictive. 
It affects . . .
the mind,
the affections,
the conscience,
the will,
yes the whole man! "Your whole head is injured, your whole heart afflicted. You are sick from head to foot — covered with bruises, welts, and infected wounds!" Isaiah 1:5-6

We are all the subjects of this disease. We all suffer from it! 

No one can heal us — but the Lord Jesus. He is the great Physician; to Him we may repair and be restored to health. To encourage you to do so, look at His qualifications:
He is infinitely wise, tender and skillful. 
His experience is without a parallel.

The remedies He employs are . . . 
His precious blood, 
His holy Word, and
His blessed Spirit.

The mode of application is by . . .
afflictions,
bereavements,
convictions, and
divine energy. 

He never failed in any case — all of His patients are completely cured! 

David's was a bad case — but he could say, "He heals all my diseases!" 

Sinner — you are sick, mortally sick! Go to Jesus!

Backslider — you are dreadfully sick! Go to Jesus!

Believer, are you not desiring perfect health? Then go to Jesus and plead, "Lord, if You will — You can make me whole!"
