Metaphorical...
As in… not literal….
God created the heavens and the earth… in SIX days… Literal? Or metaphorical?? Was God being poetic when he wrote this? Was he really doing something in the physical, or was he alluding to something much deeper, more… spiritual?
He forgives all our sins… literal? Or metaphorical?
He heals all our diseases… literal? Or metaphorical?
He redeems our lives from the pit and crowns us with love and compassion… literal? Or metaphorical?
He has bourne our sorrows… literal? Or metaphorical? "…and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death", "And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground."
He took our infirmities and carried our diseases… literal? Or metaphorical? Physical? Or spiritual?
Get this now... Hear this... Read it in your own Bible... Settle this...
"When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed ALL the sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases."" Matt.8:16-17
"And he healed them ALL"…literal? Or metaphorical? Physical? Or spiritual?
"And he healed them ALL"…
"And he healed them ALL"…
"And he healed them ALL", the deaf, the blind, the lame, the one’s with seizures, the ones with fevers, the ones with arthritis, the ones with leprosy, the one’s with issues of blood, the ones with demons… Physical? Or spiritual? Or…could it be?? BOTH??
By his stripes we are healed… Physical? Or spiritual? Or BOTH?
Which is harder? To forgive this man’s sins? Or to say "take up your mat and walk?" Notice he doesn’t answer the question? Maybe because they were equally hard? They BOTH required the shed blood of Jesus, they were BOTH promised at the same time, and BOTH delivered at the same time….
