For All Of Us Who Have Trusted Christ As Our Savior

 For All Of Us Who Have Trusted Christ As Our Savior, these poignant words can pierce our own hearts as we begin to understand that the sinless Son of God was willingly afflicted, bruised, pierced, and crushed with wounds that we merit.
 By His death and Resurrection, the Lord Jesus paid the enormous price for our sins and broke the power of sin and death in our life forever, returning us into fellowship with the Father. We are accepted by God, because of Him.
 Christ will one day return as Israel's Messiah once they cry out as a nation: "Blessed is He Who comes in the name of the Lord," but first He had to be wounded for their transgressions. He also had to be wounded for our sins. He was bruised for their iniquity, and He was bruised for you and me as well.
 The chastisement of all our peace was laid upon Him that day on Calvary's Cross.
Isaiah 53:5 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.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that the Lord Jesus Christ was wounded for our transgressions and bore our sins in His body on the tree. Thank You that our guilt has been exchanged for peace with God and the peace of God now rests in our hearts. Thank You that we have been forever released from the bondage of sin and death, and that by His stripes we have been healed, clothed in His righteousness, and made children of God. Thank You that Christ Jesus is our Redeemer and the sinless Substitute for our sins which, by His death and Resurrection, have been flung as far as the east is from the west. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
