Jesus: The Lord Who Heals, Who Causes You to Let Go

"And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee." (Exodus 15: 26)

Jesus is "The LORD that healeth", for the LORD speaks of God who was, who is, and who is always:

"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." (Hebrews 13: 8)

The same Jesus who came to this earth as the Perfect Man to give the Perfect Sacrifice for us and our sins went about healing and doing good (Acts 10: 38).

In the Book of Exodus, God manifested Himself as "The LORD that healeth thee" first, and this he proved by turning the bitter waters of Marah into sweet waters through the "Tree",  a picture of the Cross (Exodus 15: 22-27)

The Original name in Hebrew reads "Jehovah Rapha", which means "The Lord is Healing". Yet the root word for "Rapha" means "to let go" or "to relax".

The Lord heals us in many ways because He causes us to rest, to relax, to cast every care upon Him (1 Peter 5: 6-7)

In fact, Jesus is our rest:

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11: 28)

Literally, Jesus "I will rest you." He has completed the work (John 17: 4; 19: 30) which sets us free from every sin, which sets Him to live within us (Galatians 2: 20-21; Colossians 1: 27), and by His life we live in this world, overcoming everything (John 16: 33; 1 John 4: 4)

The more that we see Him holding everything together in our lives, working behind the scenes to take care of all things, that in Him we can know and believe that we will receive all things (Romans 8: 31-32), then we are able to let go of more things, trusting that He is rewarding us as we choose to believe on Him (John 6: 29), and let not our hearts be troubled (John 14: 1).
