Matthew 8:16-17 applies Isaiah 53 to Jesus's physical healings — physical healing is in the atonement

Matthew 8:16-17 records Jesus healing the sick and casting out demons, then cites Isaiah 53:4 as the fulfillment: "He took our illnesses and bore our diseases." Mike argues this unites spiritual and physical dimensions under one messianic work. The cross encompasses sin, guilt, punishment, physical illness, and grief. Mike concludes physical healing is in the cross — agreeing with charismatics on this specific point while noting he interprets Matthew's use of "fulfillment" (plēroō) with nuance.
