TODAY’S WORD…

.

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.

.

We all, like sheep, have gone astray,

each of us has turned to our own way;

and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

.

– Isaiah 53:5-6 (NIV)

QUOTE…

.

“To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you,

leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps.

.

‘He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in His mouth.’[a]

When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate;

when He suffered, He made no threats.

Instead, He entrusted Himself to Him who judges justly.

.

‘He himself bore our sins’ in His body on the cross,

so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness;

‘by His wounds you have been healed.’

For ‘you were like sheep going astray,’[b]

but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”

.

– St. Peter (1 Pt 2:21-25)
