Isaiah 53.1 says, Who hath believed our report? Believing the right report isn't mind over matter or the power of positive thinking. It's believing God's Word over our problems. This means we have to choose whom we will believe. Will we believe God or the world? Will we believe the voice of the Holy Spirit or the voice of the devil? Once we know what God says, we can choose to believe his report.
In Isaiah 53.5, God gives us this report to believe. Jesus was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities, so we can be set free from sin. He took the chastisement of our peace upon himself so we can have his peace and bore stripes upon his back for us so we can be healed.
In the King James Version of the Bible, a note in the margin states that the Hebrew word for stripes literally means "bruise". Now, look at Isaiah 53.10, Yet is pleased the Lord when Jesus took those stripes for us. Can you imagine our Heavenly Father being pleased to bruise his son? Jesus was bruised for sickness and disease. Then he died on the cross because of his love for us. It pleased God to bruise Jesus because God knew the end result. In three days, Jesus would be raised from the dead in a glorified healthy body. Because of the bruises he bore, the body of Christ would go free from sickness and disease. That's the report God wants to believe!!! |
