Text: Isaiah 53:5
We believe memorizing scripture is one of the best ways to carry the Word of our God with us wherever we go—to have God-breathed truth, instruction and reproof in our hearts and minds as we live unto Him each day.
This week we’ve chosen a powerful verse to remind us of Christ’s sacrifice.
“But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.”
– Isaiah 53:5, ESV
Write this verse down—copy it twenty time if that helps! Post it on your mirror or at your desk, in your car or on the fridge—anywhere you’ll see it often. Save the image below as your phone’s lock screen so you can read these words of truth throughout the day.
We want to be a community that is intentional about scripture memorization. Will you join us?

Nice post.
Great and amazing one dear. Thanks for sharing with us.
Jesus’ sufferings while on His journey to the cross are nothing compared to what we would face in hell. Something we discussed yesterday at church.
Jesus:
Pierced
Crushed
Chastised
Wounded
Me:
transgressor
Sinner
Yet
I receive peace
I receive healing
Thank you Father. Thank you.
Hi! Thank you so much for this! It reminded me of this song, Healed by Nichole Nordeman.
“We stutter and we stammer til You say us
A symphony of chaos til You play us
Phrases on the pages of unknown
Til You read us into poetry and prose
We are kept and we are captive til You free us
Vaguely unimagined til You dream us
Aimlessly unguided til You lead us home
By Your voice, we speak
By Your strength, no longer weak
We are no longer weak
By Your wounds we are healed
By Your wounds we are healed
Passed over and passed by until You claim us
Orphaned and abandoned til You name us
Hidden and disclosed til You expose our hearts
By Your death we live
It is by Your gift that we might give
That we might give”
Please take a listen! Thank You Jesus.
Hi! I loved this (and I love Sundays!) and it made me think of this song, Healed by Nichole Nordeman. I thought I’d share the lyrics to it for you all;
We stutter and we stammer til You say us
A symphony of chaos til You play us
Phrases on the pages of unknown
Til You read us into poetry and prose
We are kept and we are captive til You free us
Vaguely unimagined til You dream us
Aimlessly unguided til You lead us home
By Your voice, we speak
By Your strength, no longer weak
We are no longer weak
By Your wounds we are healed
By Your wounds we are healed
Passed over and passed by until You claim us
Orphaned and abandoned til You name us
Hidden and disclosed til You expose our hearts
By Your death we live
It is by Your gift that we might give
That we might give
Please take a moment to listen to it – it’s absolutely beautiful. Thank you Jesus.
I think about all the ways I’m blessed & I thank Jesus for loving me & obeying God in dying for my sins. I don’t know where I would be without God
Such a simple sentence… yet SO powerful… has so much meaning!
He was wounded, crushed, destroyed, killed so that I can be healed, restored, loved, forgiven, & made alive!
I just love Sundays! Waking up and wondering what the verse is going to be and what the lock screen will look like :)
Imagine what Isaiah must have felt, what he saw when writing about our Lord. There was nothing beautiful in his appearance to attract us. Yet by His wounds we are Healed!
God’s Word is beautiful and brings life!
Absolutely beautiful! I never considered the perspective of Isaiah.
I just love Sundays! Waking up and wondering what the verse is going to be and what the lock screen will look like :) the downloads have been such a great reminder for me!! Such beauty in the design and the words. Thank you!
Yes totally agree! Beautiful, well designed images to aid us in our scripture memory. Thank you.
Thank you thank you thank you Jesus!!!
Yes! Such sweet perspective in this verse. Reminding me that when I’m down on myself, hard on myself, in a metaphorical funk, or harshly judging (myself or others)… it is in these mental places where I am not focused, where my eyes are on myself, consumed with selfish pride.
But when I am focused on Him, remembering His pleasing and perfect sacrifice… then I am healed, free, bound up in His love and grace, right where I need to be, at peace, humbled.
A perfect verse to meditate on for the week. To set my heart and mind on Him. Which is right where they need to be, always.
What a sweet reminder from you today : that I’m no longer bound to my sin or shame but bound to Him in love and forgiveness and acceptance, “bound up in His love and grace.” A beautiful visual. Thank you for sharing!
Amen! And AMEN again, Beverly!
I echo the intent and content of your words.
It's almost like you wrote my heart and thought… sort of creepy (lol) but also very affirming and lovely.
God Bless,
Babs
It’s interesting that I believe this for others, but not always for myself!
For me, for each of us He did this. There is no greater love!
Was saved here. So powerful and significant to me. I smiled when I saw the reference.
So powerful! Thank you for this!!
Lord, I’m so grateful that, in moments of doubt , I have only to look at the cross to remember all you’ve done for me. You took my piercing, my crushing, my chastisement – all rightfully due guilty me – and You gave me eternal peace and healing in exchange. I am bowed low by the love You have for me! You paid for my sins, every one of them, with Your very life blood – because of love. What else can I do but love You in return? I love You, Lord. Oh how I love You.
Amen!
Amen!
So good!
amen.
Yes! Fantastic selection!
Love this verse, and this whole chapter!
