But 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
Healing belongs to us. Jesus suffered not for Himself and not for a punishment of anything that He Himself had done. He was willing to suffer in order that He might be glorified. To bring us to Himself. His suffering brought us healing. This is the glory of the cross. The kind of glory that allows a repentant sinner to come into peaceful and gracious fellowship with his God and creator, It began in His wounds and ended in our purification. It began in His bruises and ended in our cleansing.
This past Sunday twenty six people made decisions for Christ at our altars. What a blessing to know that Jesus made a way for us to come to the Father just by simply accepting Him. This is the Glory of the Cross. We should be preaching the Cross and the power of the blood of Jesus more than ever before in our churches.
The lamb that was slain, turns His wounds into the cleansing and forgiveness of the one who wounded Him. Wow! Quote by A.W. Tozer.
Every believer today has the opportunity to seek to have a holy longing and desire to have a pure heart and clean hands. It was for this that Jesus allowed Himself to be humiliated, mistreated. He was bruised, wounded and chastised so that the people of God could be cleansed. It began with His wounds and ends in peaceful hearts for all God’s children.
