Isaiah 53:5 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 53:10 Yet it was the Lord's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and through the Lord makes his life a guilt offering.
1 Corinthians 15:3- 4 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the twelve.
Matthew 3:16 -17 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. 17- And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

By His Wounds We Are Healed- Jesus deserves so much more than a thank you for what He did for us. He truly deserves our worship, praise, and admiration. The goal of our lives should be to live a life modeled after Him.
When Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, He who had no sin became sin. Jesus took upon his shoulders the sins of all mankind – freely. It was the Fathers will.
(Luke 24:39 – Look at my hands and my feet. It is myself? Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”)
The disciples saw His nail scars. In heaven, Jesus retains the wounds from His crucifixion on His resurrected body; the nail scared hands and feet, the scares from the crown of thorns, the wounds on his arms and back and sides from the Roman metal flagrum(cat of nine tails). I believe God kept the scars on Jesus’s resurrected body for all eternity so we believers who are there will never forget what he did for us.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God.
Jesus bought our way into heaven. He paid our price. We could not get to heaven on our own.
(Romans 3:23) He took our punishment for every sin, every person on earth ever committed, and ever will commit. The price has been paid. Your price has been paid. He took your beating. He was crucified on that terrible cross for you and me and died. He went to hell instead of you and me. On the third day God raised him out of hell and the grave and into his resurrected body.
Let us never forget what Jesus did for you and me and everyone.
John 3:16-For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
To become saved you must believe that Jesus did this for you. And accept Jesus’s free gift of salvation. Sincerely, with a repetitive heart, pray the Believer’s Prayer above this article. Pray it several times. Jesus will save you. He will give you eternal life.
As believers, we also will receive a resurrected body. Ours will be perfect, without blemish. Do you want Jesus? To live throughout eternity with a perfect, resurrected body in heaven with the Lord?
Don’t wait. Seek the Lord while He may be found. Pray the Believer’s Prayer and repent of your sins as a child before the Lord.
May the Lord Jesus Christ burden your heart for His salvation,
Gary The Tested
