Isaiah 53:5 ” But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.”

Man has always willfully rebelled and rejected God.  But God looked past that rejection and sent His Son into the world to save it.  Jesus Christ took upon Himself the punishment for the sins of all mankind…He willingly was broken, wounded and killed that we might live.   Romans 4:25 tells us, “He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.”   Today we have that blessed assurance of  righteousness through Christ Jesus…and as we look at the empty cross and tomb, we can with confidence proclaim…He is not there, He is risen!
