Who Am I Part 4 (Made Whole)

Isaiah 53:4–5 ESV

4 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.

He carried our griefs and hurts, but Jesus was more then that. HE was hurt for our mess-ups.

Jesus came for more then our healing, but for our deliverance.

Mark 5:24–34 ESV

24 And he went with him. And a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. 25 And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, 26 and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. 27 She had heard the reports about Jesus and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. 28 For she said, “If I touch even his garments, I will be made well.” 29 And immediately the flow of blood dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. 30 And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone out from him, immediately turned about in the crowd and said, “Who touched my garments?” 31 And his disciples said to him, “You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, ‘Who touched me?’ ” 32 And he looked around to see who had done it. 33 But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him and told him the whole truth. 34 And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease.”

Here we see a woman broken

lost contact with family

lost contact with friends

Lost hope from Doctors

Pushed through a crowed that she was not allowed to be close to

so she could get close to Jesus

I can not let my brokenness keep me from getting to Jesus.

Luke 17:11–19 ESV

11 On the way to Jerusalem he was passing along between Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered a village, he was met by ten lepers, who stood at a distance 13 and lifted up their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” 14 When he saw them he said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went they were cleansed. 15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; 16 and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. 17 Then Jesus answered, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he said to him, “Rise and go your way; your faith has made you well.”

Here we have 10 lepers, rejected from everyone

They call out to Jesus, for healing

They are blessed with healing and walk away

Yet one came back and thanked Jesus

Because he came back Jesus took his healing to the next level.

we can’t just walk off after we get what we have asked for, God wants to give us so much more.

When blessings come we should pray and worship louder not just accept and walk away.

In Both stories the phrase made well is

σέσωκέν = to save, to deliver

To find true deliverance we have to get closer to Jesus.
