This powerful message takes us deep into the physical and spiritual reality of what Christ endured through the Roman scourging before His crucifixion. We often hear about the cross, but rarely do we confront the brutal torture that preceded it—a calculated, systematic destruction of the body that Jesus willingly underwent for our complete healing. Drawing from 1 Peter 2:24, Matthew 8:17, and John 19:1, we discover that healing is not just a possibility but a finished work, purchased at an unimaginable price. The scourging wasn't random violence; it was prophesied 730 years earlier by Isaiah and fulfilled with precision. Every stripe, every wound, every drop of blood had purpose—carrying our infirmities, weaknesses, sicknesses, and even our mental and emotional struggles. The message challenges us to stop waiting for God to come to us when He's already done the work and is waiting for us to come to Him in faith. We learn that the same foundation that secures our salvation also secures our healing—both were paid for at the pillar and the cross. This isn't about earning healing through sacrifice or bargaining with God, but about obedience, faith, and surrendering to what has already been accomplished. The question becomes: will we take hold of what Christ has already provided, or will we continue to carry burdens He already bore?

Elevation Church exists to move people on their spiritual journey to Relationship with God, Release from cycles of defeat and bondage, Redemption of purpose and Revival making a difference in the world. We believe in a dream  of a home where the hurting, the depressed, the frustrated, and the confused can find God’s love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness and guidance.
