![]() In fact, even all his bones were visible (Ps 22:17). “The plowers plowed on my back they made their furrows long”. In reality Jesus didn’t look human by the time the soldiers had finished with him. The whips were leather with pieces of glass and sharp stones on the ends, designed to completely rip off the skin inflicting maximum torture. I’m sad to say though, that scourging is way more torturous than the whipping you may see in movies. Our healing therefore begins here, with Jesus broken body. This is where the Roman soldiers whipped him at least 39 times. Jesus had to go to the scourging post as prophesied in Isaiah. However, as we know, our beautiful Lord endued both. The sentence given to someone found guilty was either to suffer at the scourging post or death by crucifixion. #3 OUR HEALING BEGINS AT THE SCOURGING POST This shows that Jesus stripes is referring to our physical (and emotional) healing.įailure to understand this will cause doubt in your heart and you won’t be able to confidently believe God for your breakthrough. ![]() Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows īut when we look at the original Hebrew, the word griefs, means ‘sickness’ and sorrows is translated ‘pains’. ![]() If you’re wondering the same, I encourage you to look at the original Hebrew.

When you understand the word ‘sozo’ to mean both salvation and healing simultaneously, you will no longer see yourself as a believer who is sick, but a healed believer living with symptoms. This is important because it’s easy to think that healing is some kind of after thought or an added extra. ‘By Jesus stripes’ refers to the wounding and torture of Jesus on the day of His crucifixion. It is Jesus’ desire to heal, as much as to save. You may have come across the awesome Greek word ‘Sozo’. Psalm 103:3 says that God ‘forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases’ How do we know that healing is both physical and emotion?Īll the way through the Bible we read of both of these together. Healing is part of the atonement. Jesus died for both the forgiveness of sins and the healing of disease. No more doubting or wavering as to whether Jesus died for your physical healing.īut 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.

This reference is not about physical conditions, but our spiritual destiny.The Bible says that ‘by Jesus Stripes’ we are healed. The wounds-the suffering-of Jesus are the means by which Christians are healed-forgiven by God for our sins. As Christians, we have been healed from the penalty and power of our sin by Christ's wounds, by His death in our place, by His suffering for our good. The verse ends by quoting Isaiah 53:5, a profound play on words. We don't have to sin we are free to make right choices that please and honor our God (1 Corinthians 10:13). Now, thanks to Jesus' suffering, Christians can live righteously. ![]() Believers are free from the price of our own sin, and from the power of sin to poison our choices. In that action, by God's grace and through our faith in Christ, we have been freed. He endured suffering so we could die to sin. God, the one who judges justly (1 Peter 2:23) judged Christ for our sin in that moment, pouring out His wrath on His own Son to satisfy the payment for our sin. He became our substitute, dying the death we deserved. He actually died in order to pay the penalty for our sinful actions. Instead, Jesus bore, or "carried," our sins on the cross. If Jesus had not willingly endured unjust suffering, we would have remained lost in our sin. Verse 24 describes exactly what that purpose was. Jesus suffered for doing good, without fighting back, so He could fulfill His purpose. Jesus chose this path because He trusted the Father to be the just judge, to make all things right. In the previous verse, Peter described Jesus' refusal to retaliate against those who mistreated Him. ![]()
