By His Stripes, I Am Healed

By His Stripes, I Am Healed A Businessman's Revelation of Easter

This Easter, let’s go beyond celebration and uncover a deeper truth about healing, resurrection, and your destiny.

Easter is often filled with joy, celebration, and the powerful phrase, “He is Risen.” And rightly so. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the greatest miracle in history—a moment that shifted eternity. But in the middle of all the rejoicing, there’s something we sometimes overlook: before the resurrection, there was pain. Before the rising, there was healing. And that healing came by His stripes.

“By His stripes, we are healed.” You’ve probably heard that before. It’s one of the most quoted verses in Christian life. But what does it really mean—especially in today’s world where people are managing businesses, building careers, facing academic struggles, or navigating uncertain futures?

This Easter, let’s look at those words differently.

When Scripture says “by His stripes”—it’s referring to the beatings Jesus endured before He even reached the cross. Those stripes on His back weren’t just a prelude to the crucifixion. They were part of the plan. A sacrifice before the sacrifice. Why? Because healing had to come before resurrection could happen.

That means your healing—physical, emotional, financial, academic, even spiritual—was already paid for before the crisis you’re facing showed up.

Think about that for a moment.

By His stripes, my life is healed. By His stripes, my financial source is healed. By His stripes, my academic strength is healed. By His stripes, my future is healed.

Healing is not limited to the body. It reaches every corner of your life. Healing is the repair of what has been broken. And let’s be honest—this world is full of brokenness. Businesses crash. Dreams delay. Bodies get weak. Marriages face storms. Minds get tired. But healing, real healing, touches everything.

In business, we often talk about systems. If one system breaks down, it affects the entire operation. The same is true for our lives. When one area suffers—maybe your finances or health—it begins to affect the rest. You start to feel stuck, drained, or defeated. That’s why healing isn’t just a “nice” thing—it’s necessary.

And that’s exactly what Jesus provided.

He was beaten so you could be whole. He was wounded so you could be restored. He took the damage so you wouldn’t have to live with the destruction. His stripes are the foundation for your healing—even before the wounds in your life appear.

Now let’s talk about His resurrection.

Many people celebrate the resurrection without fully realizing what happened before the tomb opened. Resurrection doesn’t happen without healing. You can’t rise when you’re still broken, still bleeding, still stuck in pain. Healing had to take place first—so that Christ could rise.

Have you ever seen a sick animal lying down, no energy to move? It doesn’t matter how strong it used to be. Until it heals, it won’t rise. The same is true for people. Before you can rise to your calling, purpose, or breakthrough, something inside you must be healed.

That’s what Jesus demonstrated. He received the pain before the promotion. He went through the beating before the rising. And He did it all ahead of you—so that when sickness comes, when stress comes, when life hits you hard—you’ll remember: healing already exists. The solution was prepared before the problem ever showed up.

As a businessman or student or dreamer, you might not always know what the future holds. Surprises will come. Some may feel like setbacks. But remember this: no matter what tries to break you, the healing is already on the ground before the damage hits.

So this Easter, don’t just celebrate that He is risen—realize what His rising means for you.

It means there is healing for your body. There is healing for your mind. There is healing for your business. There is healing for your purpose.

You’re not waiting for help—it’s already been given.

And just like Jesus, you can rise. Not because you’re perfect, not because you’ve figured everything out, but because He paid the price ahead of time.

You can rise from failure. You can rise from fear. You can rise from the things that once broke you—because by His stripes, you are healed.

Quote: “He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities… and by His stripes, we are healed.” — Isaiah 53:5

Call to Action: This Easter, take a moment to look at your life. Where do you need healing? Speak it out loud: “By His stripes, I am healed.” Claim that promise over your health, your mind, your goals, and your future. Because the healing has already happened—and it’s your time to rise.
