    1) Jesus was scourged, or whipped, in addition to being crucified, as was Roman custom for lesser crimes, in an attempt to satisfy the crowd and avoid crucifixion. 2) The scourging was actually part of God's plan for our healing, as Isaiah 53:5 states we are healed by His stripes. 3) The Roman whip used was embedded with glass, bone and metal hooks, and would have severely lacerated Jesus' flesh down to the bone with each strike. Jesus' back was left a bloody, mutilated mess to bring about our physical and spiritual healing.

    …and by His stripes we are healed.

    Isaiah 53:5

    - MAY 16 -

    SCOURGED FOR YOUR

    WHOLENESS

    Under Roman law in Bible times, a criminal was either scourged for a lesser crime and then
    set free, or crucified straightaway if guilty of a greater crime. But Jesus was both scourged
    and crucified. Pontius Pilate had hoped that after scourging Jesus and presenting His
    bloodied body to the people, they would be satisfied and willing to let Him go. But the
    people were not and demanded His crucifixion instead.

    Don’t think for a moment that the people had power to inflict such suffering on Jesus. It was
    all part of God’s plan and the scourging was necessary for only by His stripes are we
    healed.

    The Roman whip used for scourging was made of leather straps embedded with glass,
    bone and metal hooks. With just one strike, the instrument would have been wrapped
    around Jesus’ body, causing the glass, bones and hooks to cut deep into His flesh. And as
    the whip was pulled back, the hooks would have stripped His flesh off, exposing muscle and
    bone. Indeed, the psalmist says, "They pierced My hands and My feet; I can count all My
    bones. They look and stare at Me" (Psalm 22:16–17), and "The plowers plowed on My
    back; they made their furrows long" (Psalm 129:3).

    Although 39 was the maximum number of times one could be whipped according to Jewish
    law, I believe that Jesus was whipped more times than that because the Romans, who were
    not likely to regard Jewish law, carried out the scourging.
    Whichever the case, His back would have been reduced to a mass of bloody, mutilated
    flesh. That day, Jesus’ blood flowed freely from His body for your deliverance from every
    kind of disease and physical affliction. God allowed every one of those stripes to fall on His
    Son’s body so that your body need not be scourged with diseases.

    My friend, if you are sick or suffering from some physical condition, know that Jesus took
    the scourging as full payment for you to be free of that condition. He bore those stripes so
    that, today, there is no sickness, no disease left for you to bear. By His stripes you have
    been healed!
