A Cross

Cruel Cross Suffering Cross Painful Cross Humiliating Cross "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" The cost Of Cross Equaled Forgiveness Mercy Healing Peace Eternal life Quotation marks: Isaiah 53:5 Transgression means to revolt, rebel, sin against human or divine authority Like if I deliberately step on your foot with the intent to hurt you_ Iniquities means sin, wickedness, often with the focus with the guilt or liability incurred

"Sometimes iniquity is like a generational curse where the same sin or sins keep cropping up in a family" which I do believe so but one needs to fight with the strength of truth and holiness. Thanks for your comments. Loved always, bl

Sara, bless you! What a lovely poem! The visual image is so captivating. Isaiah...one of my favorite Bible authors after Paul! "With His stripes, we are healed"...if we ask for forgiveness! Bless you for sharing!
