DAILY READINGS: Numbers 7; Proverbs 4; Mark 15:1-23
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
Here is the great Gospel doctrine of substitution. Another Man is wounded for my transgressions. Another Man is bruised for my iniquities. The chastisement due for my peace is laid upon my Substitute and with His stripes I am healed. The grand summary of the verse is, “He was wounded…we are healed”. —Jim Flanigan
In rich abounding grace,
He took my guilty place,
With all its deep disgrace,
And died for me.—Author Unknown
