My verse for today comes from Isreal 53:5-6 NIV version, “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. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way, and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.”
Verse 6 answers the reason for His pierced body, His crushed body, and His wounds. We are straying sheep. Jesus took our sins on Himself. What a wonderful Lord we have!
I add to this just a few more thoughts of what Jesus does for me every day.
Jesus was pierced.
Why? To indwell inside a wandering sheep like me.
Jesus was crushed.
Why? To rescue a sinner like me.
Jesus was wounded.
Why? To save, from death, me so I can live with Him forever.
Praise His Holy Name!
