By His Stripes You Are Healed!
Isaiah 53 is proof forevermore of the Lord’s love for
you and His desire for you to be whole. How
important is your healing and health to Him? It’s so
important that Jesus Himself paid the heavy and
terrible price for your wholeness.
When Mel Gibson’s The Passion Of The Christ was
released, people complained that the scourging scene
was too graphic and violent. The truth is that it
portrayed only a fraction of what our Lord really
suffered on our behalf.
Jesus was violently scourged beyond human
recognition by the Roman torture equipment. His
flesh was shredded to the point His bones were
exposed, starkly white amidst the blood and torn
muscles.
He bore the stripes so that we don’t have to. His body
was broken so that ours can be whole. And by His
stripes, we have been healed!
“…On the night when He was betrayed, the Lord Jesus
took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then
He broke it in pieces and said, “This is My body, which
is given for you. Do this to remember Me.” In the same
way, He took the cup of wine after supper, saying,
“This cup is the new covenant between God and His
people—an agreement confirmed with My blood. Do
this to remember Me as often as you drink it.”
