We Are Healed - Isaiah 53:4-5

Isaiah 53:4-5 ESV 

Surely he has borne our griefs
and carried our sorrows;
yet we esteemed him stricken,
smitten by God, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his wounds we are healed.

He has not suffered because of our griefs, or disease, but because He took them on Himself. They became His. In doing so He made us clean. The disease did not go away until He died with our disease. In doing so we are healed. 

It is remembered no more.
