By His WoundsIsaiah 53:5
No. 143But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.Isaiah 53:5
Written 700 years before Jesus, this passage describes the cross in precise detail. The punishment wasn't random — it was purposeful. Peace between God and humanity was purchased at the cost of pain. His wounds are the source of your healing.
Reflect
Sit with this verse today. Don't rush past it. What does it mean that your peace was purchased by His wounds?
Prayer
Jesus, thank You for the wounds You bore for me. I don't deserve the peace they purchased, but I receive it with gratitude. Amen.
