If the Cross is purely about salvation, then there was no need for Jesus to be scrounged in addition to the crucifixion. He received the scourging that we deserved. In other words, it wasn’t for himself, and without this sacrifice you and I have no foundation for divine physical healing. Scripture tells us He went through this for us and as us. I believe He saw me personally when he endured his suffering. The torture was so extreme, Jesus body had no skin left. Joseph Prince teaches that the correct Greek word for (By Jesus) stripes’ is ‘molops’ which is singular. In fact, even all his bones were visible (Ps 22:17). “The plowers plowed on my back they made their furrows long”. In reality Jesus didn’t look human by the time the soldiers had finished with him. The whips were leather with pieces of glass and sharp stones on the ends, designed to completely rip off the skin inflicting maximum torture. I’m sad to say though, that scourging is way more torturous than the whipping you may see in movies. Our healing therefore begins here, with Jesus broken body. This is where the Roman soldiers whipped him at least 39 times. Jesus had to go to the scourging post as prophesied in Isaiah. However, as we know, our beautiful Lord endued both. The sentence given to someone found guilty was either to suffer at the scourging post or death by crucifixion. #3 OUR HEALING BEGINS AT THE SCOURGING POST This shows that Jesus stripes is referring to our physical (and emotional) healing.įailure to understand this will cause doubt in your heart and you won’t be able to confidently believe God for your breakthrough.

It is disappointing to read posts on the internet condemning this teaching, claiming that ‘by His stripes’ is referring to spiritual healing, the forgiveness of sins. #2 THE ORIGINAL HEBREW PROVES PHYSICAL HEALING ? When you understand the word ‘sozo’ to mean both salvation and healing simultaneously, you will no longer see yourself as a believer who is sick, but a healed believer living with symptoms. This is important because it’s easy to think that healing is some kind of after thought or an added extra. ‘By Jesus stripes’ refers to the wounding and torture of Jesus on the day of His crucifixion. It is Jesus’ desire to heal, as much as to save. You may have come across the awesome Greek word ‘Sozo’. Psalm 103:3 says that God ‘forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases’ How do we know that healing is both physical and emotion?Īll the way through the Bible we read of both of these together. Healing is part of the atonement. Jesus died for both the forgiveness of sins and the healing of disease. No more doubting or wavering as to whether Jesus died for your physical healing.īut He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
