Come To Me
Isaiah
53:4-12
4
Surely he has borne our infirmities and carried our diseases; yet we accounted
him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our
transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the punishment that
made us whole, and by his bruises we are healed. 6 All of us sheep have gone
astray; we have all turned to our own way, and the Lord has laid on him the
iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he did not open
his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that
before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. 8 By a perversion
of justice he was taken away. Who could have imagined his future? For he was
cut off from the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my
people. 9 They made his grave with the wicked and his tomb with the rich,
although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet
it was the will of the Lord to crush him with pain. When you make his life an
offering for sin, he shall see his offspring, and shall prolong his days;
through him the will of the Lord shall prosper. 11 Out of his anguish he shall see light; he shall find
satisfaction through his knowledge. The righteous one, my servant, shall make many righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will allot
him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong;
because he poured out himself to death, and was numbered with the
transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors.
In summary
Jesus suffered all of our illnesses and diseases in our place. He was
severely beaten for our sins - kicked and trampled on for our wickedness. His
punishment allows us to start our lives all over again and because of His wounds we have
been healed. He assumed
full responsibility for our immoralities. He was unfairly accused yet He
remained silent. He was dragged away and taken away. He was punished, tortured
and ransomed His life to pay for our sins. Because of Jesus, the Will of God is done on
earth – “Thy Will Be Done”. He sees
the light of God's Kingdom through the darkness and He is satisfied knowing
that He has accomplished His goal - “Thy
Kingdom come”. We are made right with God because He took on our
punishment. Jesus is great, Jesus is strong; He gave all that He could possibly
give even to His death. He became a criminal to carry our sins and to become
'The Way' to Our Father.
Jesus says . . .
Please know that I suffered and died on your behalf, so all of your sins
would be forgiven and so all of your illnesses would be healed. You come to me
with your sins and I forgive them but you don't always come to me with your
illness, your emotional distress, your family anxiety, your work stress, your
financial worry, etc. so that I can heal them? Please know that I have 'paid in
full' for all of these situations. I came to set you free from all of these
'prisons' so you can live with love, joy and peace in The Kingdom and be filled
with blessings now. My children. I love you so much. I will never leave you … I
am with you always.
