HEALING AND LIFE
Hosea 6:1-2
"Come, and let us return to the LORD; for He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight."
Hosea's call to Israel: Return to the LORD and be healed. He is the only One who can heal and give life to soul that has been beaten up by sin. In Hosea's call to repentance we can see in retrospect the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. He was stricken, smitten, bruised and afflicted by God, not for His own sin but for ours, and by His stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:4-5). After His suffering, He lay in the grave two days and on the third day, God raised Him to life so that we may live in His presence. Oh, the love and grace God has shown, that I, who have been smitten and bruised by sin, can be healed and live again. What a wonderful Savior.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: God offers healing and life to the sin-stricken soul.
