WOUNDS

WOUNDS.

We avoid them at all cost,

and we should -

They hurt. 

But did you know that someone was wounded 

for you.  Yes, wounded so you could be healed.

The very God who created you and

gave you life.  He came down from

heaven and became a man offering

himself up to die in our place,

taking the death that we deserve.

His name is Jesus Christ.

He was wounded and killed

for you and me.

Mankind was told a long time ago that

he was coming to die in my place.

Here is the way it is said in 

Isaiah 53:4-6 NKJV.

"Surely He has borne our griefs

And carried our sorrows;

Yet we esteemed Him stricken,

Smitten by God, and afflicted.

But He was wounded for our 

transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities;

The chastisement for our peace

was upon Him,

And by His stripes we are healed.

All we like sheep have gone astray;

We have turned, every one to his

own way;

And the Lord has laid on Him 

the iniquity of us all."

Jesus Christ was wounded for you.

Don't ignore Him.
