Isaiah 53:5
But he was pierced for our transgressions.
He was crushed for our iniquities.
The punishment that brought our peace was on him;
and by his wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:5 is a prophecy about the suffering and death of the Messiah, Jesus Christ. The verse speaks of the Messiah being pierced and crushed for our transgressions and iniquities, and that his suffering brought us peace and healing.
Jesus fulfilled this prophecy through his death on the cross. He was pierced by nails and a spear, and he was crushed by the weight of the sins of the world that he bore on the cross. He took upon himself the punishment that we deserved, and through his sacrifice, he made peace between God and humanity possible.
The phrase "by his wounds we are healed" is often interpreted as referring to the spiritual healing that is available through our faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that through Jesus' sacrifice, we can be forgiven for our sins and reconciled to God, and that we can find healing and wholeness in our relationship with Him.
