Bible Verse Sing-along Song to be used for healing. Contains illustrations from the Read and Grow Picture Bible and the "Passion of the Christ" movie. This is the scripture that appears at the beginning of the movie. The words are from Isaiah, the prophet, who lived in Jerusalem about 2700 years ago. The book of Isaiah contains many prophecies that are interpreted by Christians as being about the Messiah Jesus Christ. The "stripes" refer to the lashes He received during His scourging/whipping. "Like everything else about his death, Jesus knew that he would be scourged. He mentioned it when He predicted his sufferings for the third time (Matt. 20:19 and parallels). He knew that before he died of the torture of the cross he would have to endure a savage, brutal beating at the hands of the Romans who were more than ready to vent their hatred against Jews. He accepted those blows, and his body was ripped open at the post, for us. He was taking the punishment of the sins of the world so that we might not have to suffer the consequences of our transgressions. By his stripes we are healed." - David McClister
The same teaching appears in 1 Peter 2:24 - "He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed." NLT
