“But he was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement for our peace was upon him, and by his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

How assuring it is to know that God’s mercies unto us are new and returning every day? Therefore, why are we unable to begin anew, to turn over a new leaf, to right wrongs, to restore broken relationships, and to forgive and forget past hurts and move ahead? Jesus Christ was wounded for our transgression, bruised for our iniquities, chastised for our peace and beaten so that we could be healed; But are we healed, do we have any peace? My brothers and sisters in Christ, we cannot be begin anew and keep falling back into the same habits. We cannot be totally healed without accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Master of our lives. Without us walking daily with him, we will have no peace. We must surrender all to Jesus, for when we are born again old things are passed away and we are become new, and God will prevent us from stumbling, he will direct our paths, his peace will dwell in us, and we would always be reminded, that he was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, chastised for our peace, and by his stripes we are healed. Praise the Lord!
