Scripture
Verse for Today
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him;
and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one
to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:5-6)
The golden nugget of all prophecy in the Old Testament of Christ is Isaiah 53. Many of Jesus’
day missed His first coming because they did not understand nor believe this chapter. Looking for a royal
king, they missed the sacrificial lamb. We find here the reason for the
suffering and death of Jesus. It was for our sins that the perfect Son of God died. Instead
of being a sinner alienated from God, I am now His child! Instead of groping in darkness, I now walk in
the light of His wonderful love! Instead of fearing eternity in a burning hell, I now look forward to an
eternity in His eternal bliss! Oh, what a savior! ~
