The Wounded Healer // Isaiah 53:5

Today’s verse gives us a prophecy about Jesus. We see how the prophet said that the Messiah would be pierced for our problems, crushed for our calamities, and injured for our iniquities. The good news comes in the next part of this verse, though, that His suffering brings us salvation; His punishment brings us peace; and His wounds our healing. I think we all need to thank Jesus for what He did when he was whipped, tortured, ridiculed, forced to carry the cross, and then took the nails so you and I would not have to. It is by His wounds we are healed, so let us praise the Wounded Healer and embrace the promise of an eternity with Him!
