“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly: and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thess. 5:23)
Exodus 15:26; Genesis 15:15; Judges 8:32; I Chron. 29:28; Psalms 90:10: Isaiah 53.
Isaiah 53:5 reveals a threefold redemptive work that would be accomplished through the suffering Messiah. This verse reveals the mystery:
1. He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquity. This speaks of spiritual healing and is related to the forgiveness of sins.
2. The chastisement of our peace was upon Him. This speaks of emotional healing for the mind and soul.
3. With His stripes we are healed. This refers to physical healing for the body.
Spiritual healing transforms the human spirit; emotional healing renews the mind; and physical healing brings healing and life to the physical body.
