What is easier, for your sins be forgiven or to rise up and walk?  Nothing is too hard for the Lord.  Isaiah 53, of course, your Cessationists will make this a totally spiritual issue and give no credibility to those that pertain to the physical manifestation of God’s will and purpose, going beyond, “When that which is perfect is come, then there will be a cessation of these other revelations because we now have the Scriptures in their entirety.  We have the foundation of the foundational Prophets and so that is sufficient foundation for the church.”

Now, when presented with this question, they would not deny this, but I want you to know the Scriptures and the Apostles are not the foundation of the church.  Jesus is the foundation of the church.  Jesus is the cornerstone of the church; Jesus does not change.  He is immutable.  He is the “same yesterday, and today, and forever.”  In Matthew, Chapter 8, when He came into Capernaum, He healed them all that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Prophet Isaiah; amen?  He is revealing again, “I am the fulfillment of this promise, of the healing, deliverance, wholeness of man:  spirit, soul, and body.”  Isaiah 53, as this great revelation comes forth, verse 4, “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows…”  But then it says, “We, then, did not see Him for who He was.”  “We saw Him,” the Prophet said, “You are going to see Him incorrectly, stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.  You are going to see Him judged by God.  We, who have spiritual eyes, who have understanding, will see Him for who He truly is—the Redeemer—He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”  Hallelujah! 

"Peace," there is a great word.  In the Septuagint, the word there for "peace" is soteria, so we know what the word soteria is, right?  The study of soteriology is the study of our redemption, our salvation, our restoration to wholeness.  Look at what it says, “The chastisement of our wholeness was upon Him.”  “He was made sin with our sin,” 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, “that we might be made righteous with His righteousness.”  Amen?  He was beaten.  He bore the stripes.  He was crucified.  He was tortured.  He was humiliated, and finished His work on the cross that forever we would be saved—sozo, whole, spirit, soul, and body.  It is “by His stripes we are healed,” praise God.
