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. (Isaiah 53:5)
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we
might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
(First Peter 2:24)
Lord God, we thank You today for the sacrifice of Jesus
Christ, the One qualified to accept and absorb the sufferings and injustices of
the world into His own body. We rejoice in the mystery: He in His righteousness
died for us in our sinfulness, so that we can know forgiveness, peace, and healing.
We walk in wholeness today not of our own doing, but because You made it
possible. May our lives always reflect our gratitude for this amazing gift from
You. Amen.
