“SURELY He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.” How strikingly do these words show the Master’s great sympathy! He bears our griefs, and carries our sorrows. The very peace that we are permitted to enjoy was purchased at the price of His chastisement. He was wounded and bruised for the transgressions and the iniquities that are ours. By His righteousness are we made righteous.
