“And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda. And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately†(Acts 9:32-34).
In this account, the Bible tells us of a man named Aeneas and his extraordinary encounter with the Apostle Peter. Obviously, the man was a Christian, because the Bible tells us that Peter found him while he was visiting the saints at Lydda (Acts 9:32). But Aeneas was sick and paralyzed; he had been bedridden for eight long years. It was in that condition he received Christ, but he remained paralyzed.
The Bible records that one day, Peter went to that region, and thank God, he went to the very house where Aeneas was. When Peter saw him, he declared to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you well! Get up and make your bed!†Peter was actually saying, “If you have Jesus, He makes you well. Get up and dress your bed!†No one had preached that part of the gospel to Aeneas before, and the Bible says he jumped out of his bed immediately! Now, what was different in the message Peter preached to this man? Peter had an understanding of the gospel that is very vital. He understood that Christ lived in the man, and so he had no business being sick. This is the understanding that you should have also.
Healing Is Yours!
It’s easy for many to accept that when a man confesses the Lord Jesus and believes that God raised Him from the dead, he is saved. But they find it difficult to accept that by the same token, that man is delivered from sickness. If the salvation of your spirit is that simple, why do you expect healing for your physical body to be complicated? Jesus bore your sins as well as your sickness in the same sacrifice.
1 Peter 2:24 says, “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.†All you have to do is to accept it and walk in the light of it.
