Selwyn now looks at another of God’s titles, Jehovah Rophe, which means ‘The Lord who heals’. In the verses, set for reading and meditation we have this account of God’s instruction to his people, and a condition under which a promise is given, Exodus 15:22-26 (NLT): “Then Moses led the people of Israel away from [...]
Selwyn has picked another great reading for meditation, just pause for a moment on the highlighted parts - Isaiah 53:1-12 (NLT): “Who has believed our message?
