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

On this Good Friday, we can reflect on the sufferings of Christ that removed the penalty we owed for our rejection of God. As John 3:16-17 tells us, God sent His Son to save the world through Him…taking on Himself the punishment for the sins of all people. And as a result, “We have now received reconciliation.” (Romans 5:11) … or as I Corinthians 15:3 tells us, justification by grace alone through faith in Jesus as our Savior. So today, remember God’s mercy towards you… seen in the substitutionary punishment of Jesus on the Cross as He took on your sin… so you could be free.
