“But he was pierced because of our rebellion, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on him, and we are healed by his wounds.” (v. 5)

No need for a pithy, detail-oriented reflection here. No additional commentary or point to ponder. No “think of it this way.”

Just the one truth, which is the Gospel.

By His wounds we are healed.

The Lord Jesus Christ paid our sin’s penalty on the cross. He was pierced because of us, for us. He carried our burden and our guilt and our death away.

And, by His grace and because of His mercy, He healed us—whole and holy.

Meditate on Isaiah 53 today.
