What Exactly Does It Mean That Jesus "Carried Our Diseases"?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 4, 2013

A look at the peculiar phrase in Matthew 8:17 that Jesus "took up our infirmities and carried our diseases." It's an easy phrase to overlook, but what exactly does that mean?

Murder At The Altar

Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 3, 2025

The first murder at the altar exposes the danger of unsurrendered worship, but Jesus’ blood speaks mercy, transforming Cain-like hearts through grace.

There is a sentence that sounds almost unbelievable the first time you hear it. A sentence we tend to rush past because it feels too severe, too intrusive, too revealing. But when you slow down long enough to take it seriously, it begins to open a doorway into the human heart… and into the ...read more
