40 DAYS WITH JESUS

#32  SCOURGED    "Then he released Barabbas for them; but after having Jesus SCOURGED, he delivered Him to be crucified."  Matthew 27:26  "But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His SCOURGING we are healed."  Isaiah 53:5

Definition of SCOURGE

: a whip that was used to punish people in the past :  one used to inflict pain or punishment

Jesus, You were SCOURGED for my healing.  You endured this for me.  Before You were released to be crucified, You were SCOURGED - beaten with a deadly whip, with pieces of bone and rock on the end.  The ESV Study Bible says that the Romans SCOURGED You nearly to death so that You would not remain alive on the cross after sundown.  Jesus, You did this for me.  The prophecy in Isaiah says that You were pierced for my transgression, You were crushed for my iniquities - the chastening for my well being fell upon You and by Your SCOURGING I am healed.  You took this for me Jesus.  Because of what You endured - I am healed.  When I trust in what You did for me, I am set free to live forever with You in eternity - because You paid the price for my sin.  This is more than I can bear - I fall down before You Jesus - for being SCOURGED for me.
