S – He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree; so that, having died to sins, we might live for righteousness. By his wounds^, you have been healed.

1 Peter 2:24 CSB

O – Commentary:

God was justly judging our sins which His Son bore (cf. 2 Cor. 5:21). In the Greek the words “our sins” are near the beginning of the verse and thus stand out emphatically, while He Himself stresses Christ’s personal involvement. His death makes it possible for believers to be free from both the penalty and the power of sin and to live for Him: so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness (cf. Rom. 6:2, 13). Christ suffered so it would be possible for Christians to follow His example, both in suffering and in righteous living. Peter made a general reference to salvation: by His wounds you have been healed (Isa. 53:5). This does not refer to physical healing for the verb’s past tense indicates completed action, the “healing” is an accomplished fact. The reference is to salvation. Christ’s suffering (lit., “wound”; mōlōpi, “stripe left by a lash,” referred to Jesus’ scourging) and death accomplished “healing,” the salvation of every individual who trusts Him as his Savior

A – Our sin, our penalty, His death, His sacrifice, our victory.  Then emphasized by words  saying “It is accomplished already.”  We are ensured salvation when we accept the work of the cross and recognize that Jesus is our savior.  In accepting that gift of salvation, it opens up healing in our minds, bodies and areas that are wounded from life’s challenges, words said over us and spiritual battles.

R – Heavenly Father, you are our Savior.  Thank you for the work of the cross that heals us spiritually and physically.  We invite your Holy Spirit to continue the work in our minds and bodies that allows us to live in freedom and grace today.
