Jesus' Wounds, Bruises, Chastisement, and Stripes Are Hard to Comprehend

 

Isaiah 53:5

But He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities;

The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,

And by His stripes we are healed.

 

Father God, This verse  in Isaiah foretold Jesus ' death for us. It is so very hard to imagine how Your Son suffered to redeem us from our sins, give us peace, and heal us.  

Forgive us for not taking time to come before You with repentant and thankful hearts. The price You paid sending Jesus is beyond our comprehension. Jesus, we cannot imagine how You suffered physically, and what the pain of separation from Father God was like. 

I am almost embarrassed to talk about this because of failure as a human in understanding it.  I focus on the end result of it all.  I don't like to look at what happened before Jesus said, "It is finished." 

Make me aware of the sacrifice Father and Son paid.

I am so thankful I am on this side of the cross. I truly owe a debt I cannot pay.  May my life shine the love You have given me. May one day You say, "Well done, good and faithful servant."  

Thank You so much for sending us Your Holy Spirit.  May we all be aware each morning we get up of His abiding presence in those of us who have asked forgiveness and asked You to come into our lives.

 May everyone reading this surrender to You and come to know Your joy, peace, and hope because of Your suffering, Jesus.  In Your name I pray. Amen.

     "When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice." Billy Graham   PSALMS 92:12-15  The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.   They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.   I was born again 70 years ago. Eight years after my mother gave me birth, Father God gave me His Holy Spirit because His Son, Jesus Christ was born of a virgin to die for my sins and give me a clean heart so that I could be born of His Spirit. Born Again!   The New Birth  (John 3:1-17)   There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews....

What are good Bible verses for healing?

Image
   Psalm 147:3: He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Proverbs 17:22: A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. James 5:15: And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.   Isaiah 33:24  "And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."   Frazer's commentary on Isaiah 33:24  in Penny Pulpit says in short,  original sin is the root cause of sickness.    Matthew Henry's commentary on Isaiah 33:24, " The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity, not only the body of the nation forgiven their national guilt in the removing of the national judgment, but particular persons, that dwell therein, shall repent, and reform, and have their sins pardoned. And this is promised as that which is at the bottom of all other favours; he ...

Is Your Name Written There?

Image
Revelation 13:8 KJV   "All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world."   I believe the ones in the tribulation time who have not accepted Jesus will be the ones whose names will not and can not be written in the Lamb's Book of Life. This is the only restriction. God knowing whose names are there is not a restriction on having one's name written there.  It is our choice to be part of the elect, but we MUST CHOOSE JESUS!  Repent today and ask Him to forgive your sins, and invite His Holy Spirit into your heart.  The Heavenly Father is waiting for you to come. He is ready to write your name in the Lamb's Book of Life. Come to the REAL JESUS today!  Isaiah 30:18 (NLT) But the Lord still waits for you to come to him so he can show his love and compassion. For the L...
