1 Peter 2:24 ESV
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.
Sin brings disfigurement and death to the soul of man. Jesus was beaten and disfigured before He was hung on the cross to die.
We who were marred by sin and destined to die have been healed. Our wounds and disease are healed by His saving grace. Not given with just words of forgiveness, but by receiving the weight and fury of the punishment on behalf of those who did not know or love Him.
He has restored us to life by receiving our death. He chose us as worthy of redemption. We choose Him by receiving His grace because He is worthy.
