![]() ![]() Thirty-nine stripes were the traditional punishment for a condemned prisoner. ![]() The stripes mentioned by Isaiah were the awful lashings upon Jesus’ back by the Roman whips. In order to provide atonement and to be washed of our sins, a perfect sacrifice was coming for all of mankind: God’s only son, Jesus. But the traditional way God’s people atoned for sin in the Old Testament was through the blood sacrifice of animals performed at the Temple. Our sins needed to be washed off each of us. The prophet Isaiah was pointing out that our sins required an atonement. He describes the suffering of the Messiah and then writes the reasons for His suffering: He was pierced for our transgressions (rebellion) and crushed for our iniquities (depravity). Isaiah describes what would happen to Jesus. “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.” (Is 53:5) How often have you heard Isaiah 53:5 spoken out and claimed to heal a temporary body here on earth? Today is Good Friday, the day that we give thanks to the Lord for His work on the cross to heal our sinful nature. “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.So often we hear a Scripture repeated and misapplied. “Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.” “For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.” “Even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” All we like sheep have gone astray we have turned-every one-to his own way and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.” “But he was pierced for our transgressions he was crushed for our iniquities upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. “and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness for by His wounds you were healed.” ![]() Find out how CHM can save your family thousands.
