Meditate
On
Surely
He has borne our griefs (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried
our sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we [ignorantly] considered Him
stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God [as if with leprosy]. But He was
wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities;
the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him,
and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole.
Isaiah
53:4–5, AMP
By His Stripes You Are Healed!
Isaiah
53:4–5 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 He 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. Keep meditating on this
powerful truth and see His healing and divine health manifest in your body!
