Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was on him… 1. None but Christ can cure us, for He is the Physician of souls. 2. Christ cureth us not by doctrine and example only, but by merit and suffering. We are healed by "His stripes." 3. Christ's merit and sufferings do effect our cure, as they purchased the Spirit for us, who reneweth and healeth our sick souls (Titus 3:5, 6). ( T. Manton, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
