Hello Everyone

In Isaiah 53 we see many reasons for the suffering of the

Savior. In verse 5 we that He was pierced through for our transgressions.

Jesus did not suffer for His own sins (because there were none to suffer for), but for OUR transgressions.
Look at some of the verses in the New Testament.


Matthew 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."
Romans 5:6-8 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.



Jesus was pierced or wounded by thorns, nails and a spear for our sins.

Also in verse 5 we see that He was crushed for our iniquity.

This verse refers to the fact that Jesus was crushed under the weight of OUR sins.
The weight of the world’s sin would crush Jesus.


The word used here means to be broken to pieces, to be bruised, or crushed.

The use of the word here is meant to imply the most severe inward and outward sufferings.

It was my sin that sent Jesus to the cross.


He was also punished (chastened) for our well-being.

Jesus was punished for our well-being or for our peace.


1Peter 2:24 He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed.


Jesus died so that we could have peace with God through Him.

When we sin we are at war with God and Jesus died so that we could have our sins forgiven.



That allows us to be at peace with God, which also leads to eternal life!


Colossians 1:20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.


Jesus stepped in and took the punishment that we deserved!



Oh How He Loves Us!
