Isa 53:4,5 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.<\/p>\n
A substitute is a person or thing that serves in place of another, such as a player in a game who takes the place of an injured. In his prophecy concerning the suffering of Messiah, Isaiah presented a perfect and suitable illustration of what Christ would become on our behalf. As He hung on the rugged cross,His death wasn’t like any other ,but a spiritual warfare to replace executions meant for us by our accuser.<\/p>\n
He took our pain,suffering,condemnation, guilt sin ,transgression and iniquities and replaced them with health, comfort, righteousness , justification, ease and happiness. He granted us access where restrictions existed and replaced the Curse with blessings,lack for abundance ,sorrow for joy and all good things we need for this life.<\/p>\n
He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charges of our legal indebtedness which stood against us us; he took it away, nailing it on the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross(
\nCol 2:14 -15 ).<\/p>\n
