Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
There are several fantastic takeaways from today's reading:
First, the prophets of the Old Testament knew they were writing about the person of the Messiah, and they inquired of the Spirit of Christ about the days and times these things would be fulfilled. They also knew it would not take place in their days. These are wonderful truths to consider. We see that God, by his Spirit, had given insight to the prophets and that the prophets did not record the prophecies of Jesus without knowledge that they were doing so.
Second, at least a part of being holy as God is holy is that we set all of our hope on the grace that will be brought to us at the revelation of Christ. When we consider that the prophets wrote with eager expectation about the coming of Jesus, we see that it then shaped the way they lived their lives. We, too, setting our minds on the truth of Jesus, will find the fruitfulness of our lives shaped by that.
Third, the believers are being built up together as a spiritual house, as a holy priesthood, to present to God spiritual sacrifices.
Finally, we see that "by his stripes you have been healed" does not address physical healing but rather spiritual healing from sin.
