“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.” -Isaiah 53:5
This verse is from the Old Testament book of Isaiah. It is a prophecy about the coming Messiah, who would be pierced and crushed for our sins. This verse is significant because it shows us that Jesus’ death was not a random act of violence. He did not die by accident but as a result of our sin. His death was the punishment for our transgressions.
This verse also tells us that because of Jesus’ death, we can have peace with God. He took away the punishment we deserve for our sins to be forgiven and have peace with God. We can be healed from our sin because of what Christ did for us on the cross. Good Friday is a day to remember that because of Jesus, we can be forgiven and have peace with God.
