CT050 - Wounded That We Might Be Healed

In this Lord's Supper meditation, we open Isaiah 53:3–5 — a prophecy written seven centuries before the cross that reads like an eyewitness account. Isaiah describes a servant who is despised, rejected, and crushed. But the heart of the passage isn't the suffering itself — it's the exchange. His wounds, our healing. His punishment, our peace. We sit with two Hebrew words that carry the full weight of it: daka, to be pulverized and ground down, and rapha, to be mended and made whole. At the table, we hold both truths at once — the real cost of what he endured on our behalf, and the complete freedom that exchange purchased for us.
