Pierced for Us
“But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.”
WRITTEN CENTURIES BEFORE
Isaiah described the cross seven hundred years before it stood. Calvary did not catch God by surprise — it was a promise kept.
PIERCED IN OUR PLACE
Every wound had a reason, and the reason was us. He took what our sin deserved so we would never have to.
THE GREAT EXCHANGE
He receives the punishment; we receive the peace. The cross is the most unequal trade in history — and He proposed it.
WOUNDS THAT HEAL
What sin broke, His wounds mend. Healing for the soul flows from the very scars He chose to bear.
NO ACCIDENT
Jesus was not cornered by circumstances; He walked toward the cross on purpose. The purpose was you.
BRING IT TO THE CROSS
Act: name the guilt you keep carrying, speak it to God in one honest sentence, and leave it at the cross before breakfast.
