He Carried Our Guilt

He Carried Our Guilt

By Pastor Nahun Flores

In the book of Isaiah in chapter 53 and verses 5 and 6 it says: "But he was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our sins. For giving us peace punishment fell on him, and by his stripes we are healed. All of us Like sheep we have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way, but the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all."

The Word of God affirms in the context prior to these verses that on that day all those who were kings of the earth will close their mouths in amazement, since they will see for themselves what was never told to them and understand what they had never heard. But, what will they see and what will they understand...? They will see and understand that Jesus Christ the son of the Almighty God stripped himself of his glory, became a servant and came to this world of perverse people to serve because we preferred to be served, to teach us humility because we lack it, he came to teach us the correct way to us closer to God because we were astray, he came to save everything that had been lost and above all he came to teach us that in this life it does not matter what we are or what we have, our personal achievements do not matter if they are not aligned with the purpose and the God's plans for our lives, because here in our earthly dwelling what matters most and what should challenge us the most, is to be under the perfect will of the Lord, Jesus said in the book of John: "Because I have not come to make my own will but the will of the Father who sent me, but in order to learn to do the will of the Father it is necessary that we die, it is necessary to die to all our desires, dreams and ambitions, knowing that we will change them.

The Father's gods are higher than our pathsand that his thoughts are more sublime than Very often we think that things are going to turn out as we thought or as we planned, but suddenly we realize that God has intervened in the course of our lives, and he has done so because he wants to perfect us, he wants to show us that adversity is part of our formation, God wants to forge our character to take us to the measure of the stature of his beloved son Jesus.

Our Lord Jesus has left us his most valuable legacy, he himself was perfected through harsh trials, and has given us to understand that the brief tribulation that we go through on this earth is nothing compared to the eternal weight of glory that awaits us in His presence.

The story narrated by the prophet Isaiah apparently begins in a tragic way, what's more, it says that the holy face of Jesus was disfigured by so much so that the people of his time thought and affirmed that God himself had forsaken him. As the Prophet says: he was wounded for our rebellions, he was crushed for our sins, the punishment of our peace was upon him, and by those wounds that he had to endure, all of us have been healed, he has borne our sins on himself before a holy and pure God, he has paid the price for us to be free from all curses, free from all guilt and eternal damnation. At the end we read that everything that Jesus had to endure was worth it, we see today that he defeated death and that his victory is ours, and not only that but that he has been given all authority in heaven and on earth. land and that will distribute the spoils of their enemies and they will see the one they pierced and all will be

silent, because they will see what was never told them, and they will understand what they had never heard.

Jesus took our faultsupon himself and that is why we are now free for eternity.
