Question
You seem to think that Jesus heals our wounds

Answer
Blessings and thank you for your question.

1.  Absolutely.  Jesus healed many people while on this earth, too many to give you all the instances.  The Bible also says that:
        a.  "He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5
        b.  "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits— who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases" Psalm 103:1
        c. "Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:13-15
         d.  there are so many passages like this that tell us of the power of prayer and healing.

2. Personal Experience:  I personally have seen so many people defy the wisdom of doctors.  I have seen the blind receive sight, the deaf hear again, cancers disappear, hearts healed and restored, fevers lifted, and many close to death who made complete recoveries even after doctors said there was no hope.
