Typology - Gilead a type of Jesus the healer


Gilead was especially noted for its balm, a healing ointment, collected from "balm of Gilead" trees.   

Gilead was a type of Jesus as the Healer, Jehovah Rophi (Exodus 15:26).   

Jesus is not just the Healer of our souls (Psalm 41:4).  He is also the Healer of physical ailments (Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24).   

When we accept Jesus as personal Lord and Savior, His Blood paid for every sin that we can ever conceive, resulting in our free pardon. 

The unpardonable sin is rejecting Jesus as personal Lord and Savior.  It is as good as rejecting the only cure for AIDS, figuratively speaking.   

If a criminal who has been sentenced to death rejects a free pardon, the outcome is obvious. He remains a criminal on death row.

The above is an extract from the book entitled "Her Seed".
