Grace for your spirit
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
The prophet Isaiah spoke about the sacrifice of Jesus 700 years before the cross, as though it had already occurred. In fact, God always knew our transgressions, our sins, our need for peace, and the wounds that needed healed. The abuse that Jesus suffered for us was necessary for Him to bear our sins, give us His righteousness, and heal us. With every whip, every slap, every punch, every nail, and every sword, He was meeting our needs. Since God knew from before the foundation of the world that we would need His righteousness, He also knows our needs for tomorrow. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, God credits righteousness to us even before we sin. Thanks be to God for such a great gift of grace.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
