For a longer guide, read Vince Baker’s Divine Healing Manual.

Read the passages in context

Notice what comes after Peter’s words about healing. He describes people who had wandered as sheep returning to their Shepherd. Matthew, meanwhile, places Isaiah’s language beside Jesus healing Peter’s mother-in-law and others. Each author brings out a different aspect of the servant’s work.

• 1 Peter 2:21–25
• Isaiah 53:4–6
• Matthew 8:14–17

Put the reading into practice

Read Isaiah 53:4–6, Matthew 8:14–17, and 1 Peter 2:21–25 in that order. Underline what Jesus bears in each passage. Then name one reason you are grateful for what He has done and one thing you want to ask Him for today.
