A Piercing Thorn

I remember Jesus being forced to wear the crow of thorns and then being crucified at the cross. If one thorn could hurt, imagine how much hurt and agony can an entire crown could inflict? And that’s just a small portion of the physical pain He suffered. A whip flogged His back. Nails penetrated His wrists and ankles.

But Jesus endured spiritual pain too. Verse 5 of Isaiah 53 tells us, “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.”

Jesus allowed Himself to be pierced—by nails, by a crown of thorns—to bring us healing from God. His sacrifice, His willingness to die on our behalf, paved the way to make a relationship with the Father possible.

You might be suffering right now because of sickness. Remember that Jesus Christ has already paid the price, and His victory is our victory.

Father, I can’t imagine the pain Your Son endured to wash away my sins. Thank You for sending Him for me, to be pierced for my sins so that I may be healed and that I may have a relationship with you.
