Isa 53:
4 But [in fact] He has borne our griefs, And He has carried our sorrows and pains; Yet we [ignorantly] assumed that He was stricken, Struck down by God and degraded and humiliated [by Him].
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing]; The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him, And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed.
1 Pet 2:
23 While being reviled and insulted, He did not revile or insult in return; while suffering, He made no threats [of vengeance], but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges fairly.
24 He personally carried our sins in His body on the [g]cross [willingly offering Himself on it, as on an altar of sacrifice], so that we might die to sin [becoming immune from the penalty and power of sin] and live for righteousness; for by His wounds you [who believe] have been [h]healed.
(MY NOTE: Pre cross Isaiah says by His stripes/wounds we ARE healed. Post cross Peter say's by His stripes/wounds believers HAVE BEEN healed)
Matt 8 accentuates why His Body was Broken
Matt 8:
16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word & ""healed ALL the sick""
17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: "He took up our infirmities" "& bore our diseases"
(MY NOTE: Via the Holy Spirit Jesus healed ALL sickness. Took our infirmities/weakness & bore our diseases <plural)
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words: [ 2,,G771, asthenema ] INFIRMITY
akin to No. 1, is found in the plural in Romans 15:1, "infirmities," i.e., those scruples which arise through weakness of faith. Vine's Note: In Luke 7:21, AV, nosos, "a disease," is translated "infirmities" (RV, "diseases").
1 Cor 11:
23 For I received from the Lord Himself that [instruction] which I passed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night in which He was betrayed took bread;
24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is (represents) My body, which is [offered as a sacrifice] for you. Do this in [affectionate] remembrance of Me.”
25 In the same way, after supper He took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant [ratified and established] in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in [affectionate] remembrance of Me.”
26 For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are [symbolically] proclaiming [the fact of] the Lord’s death until He comes [again]. (Also see Matt 26:26,27,28, Mk 14:22,23,24, Lk 22:17,18,19)
The Lord implemented this ordinance:
John 6:53 Jesus said, Truly, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, """""ye have NO LIFE in you"""""
Jn 6:53 Jesus said, Truly, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, """""ye have NO LIFE in you"""""
Recap: Jesus body was broken for every believers transgressions & healing (spiritual & physical). His blood was shed to establish & ratify a/the new eternal (Heb 9:12&15) covenant. We are to remember what He did at the cross, I believe weekly (Lev 7;6, 24:8-9, Acts 20:7).
Ps 105:37 They ate the LAMB & the next day: Although many were old "NOT ONE WAS FEEBLE AMOUNG THEM"
Final Thought:
Love GIVES: God so LOVED, He GAVE His Son (Jn 3:16)
Grace SUPPLIES:
Phil 4:19 And my God will liberally supply (fill until full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Tit 2:11 For the [remarkable, undeserved] grace of God that [a]brings salvation has appeared to all men.
(MY NOTE: Christ & His finished sacrificial work brings salvation & unlimited supply)
Faith ACCESSES/TAKES: Rom 5:1-2, Eph 2:8.
Matthew 7:
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
(A) Ask
(S) Seek
(K) Knock
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
(MY NOTE: ASK!)
Eph 3:
20 Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,
(MY NOTE: His supply is limitless!)
21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen.
Phil 4:6 Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.

2 Cor 9:8 And God is able to make all grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in abundance to you, so that you may always [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have complete sufficiency in everything [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity.
Ja 4:2 (D) You do not have because you do not ask [it of God].
1 Jn 4:17 In this [union and fellowship with Him], love is completed and perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment [with assurance and boldness to face Him]; because as He is, so are we in this world.
Time to start ASKING & without faith it is impossible to please or receive from Him. Whatever your lack/need He has the SUPPLY. The Lord Jesus is the same today (Heb 13:8) as He was in Matt when He healed ALL their sickness & disease.
4 But [in fact] He has borne our griefs, And He has carried our sorrows and pains; Yet we [ignorantly] assumed that He was stricken, Struck down by God and degraded and humiliated [by Him].
