Two thousand years ago the Finance Minister of Ethiopia was on a spiritual pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Success and wealth obviously did not satisfy his inner longings. At some point, he obtained a copy of a section of the Old Testament known as the Prophecy of Isaiah. Returning home, across the desert, he started reading the scroll of Isaiah. As he read about a rejected and suffering man, his heart was stirred but he didn’t know who the man was. The Lord’s eye was on this ‘spiritually lost and seeking man’ and He sent a Christian, by the name of Philip, out to the desert to catch up with the man in his chariot.

Let’s pick up the story recorded in the Bible:

Act 8:30-39  Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.  (31)  “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.  (32)  This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.  (33)  In his humiliation he was deprived of justice. Who can speak of his descendants? For his life was taken from the earth.”  (34)  The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”  (35)  Then Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.  (36)  As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?”  (38)  And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him.  (39)  When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing.

What about you? Have you ever read Isaiah 53 in the Holy Bible? Have you ever wondered who was wounded and bruised and crushed for our sins? There are many prophecies concerning Jesus in the Old Testament that were fulfilled exactly —with precision when Jesus came to earth. But Isaiah 53 is often called the Mount Everest of Old Testament prophecy.

2000 years ago the man from Ethiopia climbed the summit and was awed by what he saw and his life was changed forever. Countless others since then have reached the summit and bowed their hearts in repentance and embraced Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. Have you?

Connecticut, USA  —Don Labbe

I  was taught to obey my parents, respect authority and to follow the rules of our church.

Nearly 40 years ago now, my family and I first heard the gospel. It was very different from what we believed because we were taught that we were good people who were going to heaven.

Through the preaching of the Gospel, we learned that we were all sinners and unfit for God’s presence. The scriptures told us that only the finished work of Christ could save us.

One evening after gospel meeting, Isaiah 53:6 was read to me personally. Although I heard the gospel for months, I now realized that I was a lost sinner.

All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:6

Waking up the next morning, I was so troubled about my sin and the certainty of going to hell, I decided to stay home from school so that I could get saved. Nearly four hours after struggling to understand, I dropped to my knees and tearfully confessed to God that I was a lost sinner on my way to hell, where I deserved to be.

It was then that the remainder of that verse was made clear to me. In love for my soul, the Father had placed on his Son the punishment that my sins deserved and I believed it.

By the grace of God, my soul was saved, my life transformed and my destiny changed. The Lord graciously saved our family of five within seven months. Our sins are forgiven, we have peace with God and the assurance of everlasting life.

I was a hopeless drug addict. Being found in an alley with an overdose was my likely future.

A lady called to take our daughter to some Bible children’s meetings. I asked her what she was. She said, “I am a Christian.”

Later two men visited us. I said, “You know, you and I are like people stranded on a desert island. We have told ourselves that a big ship is going to come and take us off the island. That is what keeps us going from day to day – we have our big ship. This syringe is my big ship. It gets me from day to day. Your Jesus and your Salvation are your big ship, but really we are just in the same boat.”

“I want to read something to you,” one of the gentlemen replied, and he read Isaiah 53. In the middle of my dark empty existence, there was just the inkling of a hope that softened and touched me the first time I heard it.

I said: “I know the Jesus story. Anybody could write something like that.”

He said: “But not 700 years before it happened, and besides, who told you it was talking about Jesus?”

It just came to me that everything God said would happen, did happen, and I was afraid.

One of the men continued to visit me. He said: “It is a wonderful thing that God loves you and sent His Son to die for you… this Man receiveth sinners.” In tears, he said, “Oh Peter, salvation is not only the joy of receiving Christ; it is being delivered from a real hell. Unless you get serious about this matter you are going to die in your sins and go to hell.”

One Tuesday evening, I accepted that “the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” 1John 1:7. When Jesus said on the cross “It is finished!” (John 19:30) He paid my sin’s debt in full. That night I was saved.  (listen to Peter Orasuk’s full story here)

Nova Scotia, Canada —John Meekin

I was attending Gospel meetings in the early summer of 1990. Through the preaching of the Gospel and what the Gospel preacher Norman Crawford called ‘the power of the preached word,’ the Lord really began to speak to me. I started to search the Scriptures trying to find peace and the assurance of salvation. I read Gospel papers and pamphlets trying to trust Christ or believe etc.

One of the problems I faced is what confronts many ‘how do I believe?’  Without really thinking about it, part of what was taking place was that I was trying to do something to add to what Christ had done. God expects sinners to completely rely on His Word and the testimony of the Bible. It is reliable and it is a sure foundation.

On the Monday evening of the seventh week of meetings, I came home from the Gospel meeting and got down on my knees before God, and I admitted to Him that I was a sinner and my sins deserved to be punished. It was a few minutes later, as I was about to enter through the doorway of my bedroom, that Isaiah 53:5 came to my mind.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

Through these precious words, I realized that the Lord Jesus had been wounded for me at Calvary and that His death satisfied God and completely answered to the problem of sin. I took those words for myself and, through them, I found peace with God.

Michigan, USA —Yvonne Hess

I am 81 years old, and I was saved in 1989 when I was 50 years old. I spent years craving peace. Once I realized I was a sinner, I was desperate to find assurance that I would be in heaven. I travelled down many dead-end roads seeking peace, but one day I turned to Isaiah 53 and found the peace I was seeking. In verses 5 and 6 of that chapter, I noticed the words, “ALL.”

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.  Isaiah 53:5

All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.  Isaiah 53:6

ALL we like sheep have gone astray. I had no problem seeing that I fell into this category! I felt the separation from a holy God that sin causes. What I hadn’t noticed was the second use of “all.”  “He hath laid on Him the iniquity of us ALL.”

The solution was there before me, but my eyes had been blind to it. My sin was placed on HIM; I was part of His suffering; now I saw that God considered me clean of my sin because Jesus had taken sin and my punishment.

Verse 5 showed that Jesus’ death for mankind was effective because it says they were healed. The remainder of the chapter showed that the Savior went on to live after He died for sinners. All of this proved that God had resurrected Jesus and accepted His sacrifice for those who trust Him for salvation.

I didn’t pray a prayer, I didn’t seek feelings; I made no promises. Like the priests in Exodus 8 who rested their hands on the sin offering, I simply rested my faith in the Lord Jesus as my personal Savior that day and found peace.

Heaven (formerly Newfoundland, Canada) —Bert Joyce

 

My conversion to Christ, April 16, 1939, came after the death of my eighteen-month-old sister who died from a rare disease like leukemia. I was confronted with the question “where would my soul be if it were me lying in the casket?”

Later during the Sunday Worship Meeting, while the Christians were occupied with thanking the Lord for redemption, I was thinking “what affects these Christians to worship the Lord?” I began to read Isaiah 53:6 …

All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 53:6

Reading it a second time I came to the understanding that Christ had borne “the iniquity of us all” – me included and I immediately found peace in Christ. This revelation changed the whole course of my life and motivated me to serve a new Master.

Ontario, Canada —Ruth Dyck

I grew up in a loving Christian home, and the Bible was read every day. Every Sunday I heard the good news of Jesus Christ preached.  I knew I was a sinner needing to be saved if I ever hoped to be in heaven. But life was good on the farm, and I wasn’t too concerned.

This all changed in 1963 when two preachers spoke every night in a gospel tent. I was a teenager starting high school. I decided to make my soul’s salvation my top priority!  For six weeks, I listened – trying to believe that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners,” but I couldn’t see it.

When the preachers extended the meetings, hoping I would get saved, I said to myself: “It’s no use, I don’t know how to be saved….there is no salvation for me…. I’m just going to have to go to hell.” I felt so lost and without hope!

I read a booklet called ‘God’s Way of Salvation.’ I read familiar verses in my Bible. Finally, I turned to Isaiah 53 and read verse six:

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord (God) hath laid on Him (the Lord Jesus) the iniquity (sins) of us all. Isaiah 53:6

I understood I was the sheep that had strayed from God. I had taken my own way.  But the last part of the verse shone like a light from heaven into my darkened soul. I saw that Jesus had died for me, a guilty sinner.  My burden of sins was gone….I was saved and on my way to heaven. From my heart, I thanked God for His great salvation.

I have a peace: it is calm as a river
A peace that the friends of this world never knew;
My Savior alone is its Author and Giver,
And oh, could I know it was given to you!

Northern Ireland, United Kingdom —John Blair 

It was November 23, 1947, when the Lord saved me. On a Sunday evening after attending a gospel meeting in Portrush Northern Ireland I was convicted of my sin. Three weeks before my 17th birthday, around midnight, I appreciated the truth of this verse:

When Jesus, therefore, had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished. John 19:30

Immediately from Isaiah Chapter 53, this verse was impressed on my heart:

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

I realized He (Jesus) was wounded for MY transgressions; was bruised for MY iniquities” and I was saved and satisfied that He died for ME.

Isaiah 53 also says “He shall see the travail of His soul and shall be satisfied.” If God is satisfied, so am I.  I am now 90 years young – 73 years later, I am still rejoicing in His great salvation.

Ontario, Canada —Deborah Kopstein Burr 

Forty-five years ago, I was a teenage girl of Jewish birth, lost and searching for God. I knew about atonement and redemption, but I didn’t know the Redeemer. That summer  I spent my free time at a Christian Coffee House. I would argue with Christians there and would say “I’m Jewish; I do not believe the Messiah has come yet”.

One day a girl asked me if she could read some scriptures to me that had been written 700 years before Jesus was born. She read from Isaiah 53.

Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? Isaiah 53:1

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

I couldn’t believe these words. I wondered if I had been wrong.   A few nights later, I heard in a gospel message that Jesus was the Final Atonement for SIN. At that moment, I realized that the Messiah had already come and I accepted His death as the atonement or payment for my sin and was Born Again.

I am so thankful that I heard those words. Jesus is my Messiah, my Redeemer, my Saviour, my Friend and He’s coming soon. No matter where you come from, what religion you have, what colour your skin is, Jesus died to Save You.

Heaven (formerly Chile) —Ernest L.  Moore

My parents impressed Bible truths on mind such as – no sinner enters heaven in his sins; you cannot do anything to get to heaven, and only the blood of Jesus can cleanse you from your sins. Nevertheless, I considered things I might do to get to heaven.

I tried to be saved, but to no avail. On Sunday, January 13, 1946, I was utterly miserable. An evangelist, was preaching in McKeesport, PA. I cannot remember the sermon, but I was determined that tonight – “I must be saved.”

After the meeting, Mother and Dad began reading familiar Bible verses, among them Romans 10:9 – “If you confess with your mouth… and believe in your heart… you will be saved.” I told my parents, “I think I believe in my heart, but I don’t feel saved.”  Mother replied, “But salvation is not feeling, it’s knowing.” I said, “Well, I know I’m not saved, then.”

I went to my room and read Isaiah 53:5.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

I put my name in the verse. “But He was wounded for my transgressions, He was bruised for my iniquities, the chastisement of my peace was upon Him, and with His stripes I am healed.”

Who is He? – Jesus. Why was he wounded? – for my transgressions! Why was He bruised? – for my iniquities! Why was he chastised? – that I might have peace. How am I healed? – with His stripes!

I began to see the light of God’s salvation. Jesus bore all this for me and became my Substitute Sacrifice. I am healed because He bore the punishment for my sins. Immediately I had peace. I didn’t feel it; I knew it. I was safe and secure in Christ, and knew it was for eternity.

(Mr. Moore eventually became a missionary.  He and his wife served the Lord in South America for over 50 years.  He passed away in November 2020.)

His location (before heaven) was Hickory, NC, and before that, Chile (and Argentina, Bolivia and Venezuela, 50+ years).  He was born again in McKeesport, PA  at the age of 10; passed away at age of 84.

British Columbia, Canada — Lois Logue

I grew up in a home where we went to church every Sunday and read the Bible at home.  I learned all were sinners and needed their sins forgiven to go to heaven.  Even when young, I knew, by things I did, I was a sinner and needed forgiveness. We had services at church about Jesus dying on the cross, that when we trusted Him, He took the punishment for us, we were “saved” and ready for heaven.

I was always concerned about myself but never did anything.  When I was 9, we had nightly services, and I became very concerned about salvation.  I told my mom, and she got gospel tracts from the speaker.  Every tract had Isaiah 53:5 in it.  I told mom and she said, “God is speaking to you.”  But I couldn’t understand what God was saying.

I finally talked to the speaker. He realized I knew the facts, but didn’t take them personally.  He told me to read Isaiah 53:5 and put my name in it –

He (Jesus) was wounded for Lois” transgressions, He was bruised for Lois” iniquities, the chastisement for Lois” peace was upon Him and with His stripes, Lois is healed. Isaiah 53:5

I made it personal, He died and suffered for me, for my sins!

That was my salvation.  For 62 years, Jesus has been my help, comfort and guide through everything including cancer and losing my husband.  I thank Him every day for being my Saviour.

Ontario, Canada —Keren Fuller

Isaiah Fifty-three and Five is a very precious verse. As a young girl, I memorized it for my Sunday School Christmas Program. Not until I was a teenager did I finally find peace with God because of the words God inspired a prophet to write on a scroll 700 years before the Messiah came!

Isaiah, the prophet, asks the Question ‘Who has believed…? And then He told me I had gone away, astray, and was lost. It was after a very solemn meeting where two men faithfully preached that Jesus was coming soon, and listening, I knew I had no peace. In my bedroom, I wrestled with anguish that maybe I would never know peace.

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

My Bible opened to Isaiah 53 and, like a stop sign, BUT He, arrested my thoughts! Who was wounded for me? Who was bruised for me? Who took God’s punishment for my peace? Yes! And with His stripes I am healed! Wonderful truth to know I m healed~forgiven, cleansed, and at peace.

This is my story, this is my song! Jesus died for me!

Chile —David Rodgers 

I grew up on a dairy farm near the village of Charlton, in Northern Ontario. A remarkable feature of our family was that every morning and every evening, my father gathered us together as a family to read the Bible together. I can’t remember a day that we didn’t read! We attended the Christian assembly that met in a Gospel Hall just a half a mile north of us on my grandfather, Stewart Rodgers’ farm. And once again, as a family, we never missed a meeting.

Every year, at the end of June, there was a three-day conference of special Bible teaching meetings, with invited preachers and many Christians from different areas present. As kids we loved it, for the great food and the fun with all the visitors! June 29, 1959, stands out for me, because that Sunday night, Mr. A. W. Joyce preached the need of personal salvation from the guilt of our sins, and I, although only 8 years old, was deeply convicted. My father supplied all the milk for the conference. I remember the rattling of the milk cans he was loading into the back of the pickup, and saying to Mom that I felt like I had a burden of sin on my shoulders!  Later, as my parents read me Isaiah 53:5, I saw that my load of sins was laid on Jesus, on the cross, and that they were no longer on me!

But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

I have had the joy of sharing that wonderful truth with thousands more, and with my wife, we are serving the Lord as Christian missionaries in Chile.

Ontario, Canada —Nancy (Gratton) Hannigan

I grew up a small Ontario town. My parents and grandparents were born-again Christians. Each Sunday we heard the Bible preached. Knowing I was a sinner, I was deeply concerned about being left behind when the Lord returned.

When I was eleven, I thought I found peace through my own efforts, but I realized I had missed the True-Giver of peace – the Lord Jesus.

My efforts to figure out the right way to ‘believe’ and find peace continued. Once, in desperation, I asked why I had ever been born as I so didn’t want to face eternity.

When I was 16, I attended a series of nightly gospel meetings. Being a young adult, I knew I could be drawn away from my heritage of faith and might never be saved. My mother read many Bible verses to me.

In desperation, I got alone with this one verse:

But 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. Isaiah 53:5:

It said that Jesus had died on the cross for my sins. The penalty for making my peace had been on Him.  Because of His suffering and atoning sacrifice on the cross I could be healed and have peace!  Praise the Lord!!   I accepted His Gift of eternal life.

I am now in my early 70’s. The Lord has been with me every step of the way. Through life’s many circumstances, both good and bad, I have seen His loving hand and guidance and know He treasures me.

British Columbia, Canada —Ruth Thompson

During my very privileged childhood, I was consistently taught that the Bible was the Word of God and its truths are the most important things in life. I knew that God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus into the world to die, sin must be punished and I was a sinner. My Christian heritage did not make me ready for heaven, but rather made me personally more responsible toward God. From the age of eight, I consciously knew that I did wrong and that I needed to have my sins forgiven and have peace with God. But, I had a fear of not believing in the right way, that my profession of faith might not be true.

One evening, at the age of twelve, my sins and rejection of the Lord Jesus became especially real to me. The thought, “why have I not accepted Him?” repeatedly came to my mind. Reading Isaiah 53:5,

He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

I realized that Jesus Christ had done it all when He died on the cross. He had taken my punishment; He made peace with God for me.

Over sixty years later, my faith is in Him and His word. I thank Him, assured that He is with me, giving me peace each day as I learn more about Him and that I will be with Him in heaven!

Nova Scotia, Canada —Esther Cain

I am thankful to have grown up in a loving family, with parents who gave us a safe home, good food, and meaningful life skills. They also took time to teach us the message of the Bible. In the summer after I turned 12, I came into my own relationship with Jesus Christ.

I had suddenly become alarmed one night at the thought that I could die, even that night. My dad gave me a gospel pamphlet to read. In it, I noticed a Bible verse, Romans 3:23, which states,

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23

I was aware that I was a sinner, even though a child. The writer quoted Isaiah 53:6,

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned – every one – to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity (sin) of us all. Isaiah 53:6

I was the sheep who had gone astray. I deserved punishment for my sin, which I imagined to be like a cloud hanging over me. I realized the cloud had been removed from over me and was emptied on Christ when He died on the cross. I did not need to fear the punishment, because He had taken it for me.

From that night on, I have had a peace that can be found nowhere else. Through the ups and downs of life, and chaos of our world, it is wonderful to know that the Lord Jesus is with me and He is on my side. He is a faithful friend who is always available to listen and He wants to be your Saviour too.

Iowa, USA —Glen Groothuis

I was raised in a small town in Iowa along with an older brother and a younger sister.  As a family, we read the Bible every day.  I was a “good” kid most of the time, but the Bible taught me that I was a sinner, and to be in Heaven, I needed my sins forgiven.  One night my parents took me to listen to a preacher, Oliver Smith, along with a young man, Eric McCullough.  Mr. Smith chose Isaiah 53:6 as his text:

“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way”, confirms that we are all sinners, just as my parents had taught us.  That means that we are subject to eternal punishment because of our sins, unless a substitute could be found.  “. . . and the LORD hath laid on Him (Christ) the iniquity of us all.”, tells us that God gave His Son to be our substitute.  Mr. Smith illustrated it this way:

 “If I take my Bible from the desk and place it on a chair, it is no longer on the desk: in other words, it can’t be in two places at once.  Thus, it is with our sins, they cannot be in two places at once.  So, if God really has put the punishment for our sins on Christ (and He did because our verse says that), then the punishment for our sins no longer rests on us and we go free.” 

Thus, at the age of 13, I understood for the first time that when the Lord Jesus Christ shed His blood on the Cross, He took the punishment for my sins and His death assures for me a place in Heaven.  Thus, I can joyfully sing with the hymn-writer:

“Payment God will not twice demand,

 First at my bleeding Savior’s hand,

And then again at mine.”

Ontario, Canada —Joyce Boyd

I create things . . . “GEMS by GJ”.  A gem is precious.   I want to share with you the greatest GEM I know.

I grew up in Orillia, Ontario in a caring Christian family . . . a life of hard work, discipline, and responsibility but also lots of laughter, singing, and love.

On March 27, 1965 I was disobedient and was sent to my room to consider the consequences.   I recalled verses that I had memorized in Sunday School and realized that I was like the lost sheep going astray and wanting their own way in Isaiah 53:6.  Verse 12 says, “He bore the sins of many” but that afternoon I understood that provision was made for all my sin.  I placed my name in verse 5 . . . “He was wounded for Joyce’s transgressions, He was bruised for Joyce’s iniquities:” the punishment needful to obtain peace was upon Him and because of His sufferings and sacrifice, I was forgiven.  As a girl of 13, by simple faith and trust in Christ’s finished work on the cross, I was saved for all eternity.

The living Lord is my personal Friend and constant Companion and Guide.   He has provided amazing help and abundant strength each day: while attending university, teaching challenging students, experiencing cancer and caregiving 24/7.  He truly brings comfort amidst tears and lasting joy and hope.

I recently lost my husband but know with assurance that he is with his Lord and Saviour.  Norman knew about everlasting life,  but waited 44 years before believing in Christ alone for Salvation.  Today a rich welcome awaits you.   Receive the GEM that matters the most – my precious Saviour.

Newfoundland, Canada —Marvin Derksen

It was during my 3^rd year of university that my concern for salvation became the most pressing reality of my life. The academics were going well, future ambitions were promising but all of this was overshadowed by the growing awareness of no peace within and no hope for eternity.

God had been graciously “rattling my bars” in a variety of ways and after an intense, week-long search, I had finally recognized that I was hopelessly lost.

An older Christian soul-winner took an interest in me and one Friday night, we read Isaiah 53:5-6 together. Verse 6 in particular arrested my attention. It seemed that God was giving me 3 facts that were true – whether I believed them or not.

1. “All we like sheep have gone astray” – that was true of me – “Check!”
2. “We have turned everyone to his own way” – true again – “Check”!
3. “And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all”. That truth gave a glimmer of hope but I thought that salvation couldn’t be that simple – there had to be something that I had to do!

Later on that night, I looked at the verse again and for the first time in my life, I realized that what the verse said was absolutely true. The Lord Jesus had really died on the cross as the payment for MY sins. The work was finished, my debt was paid and for 50 years, I have enjoyed peace with God because of my Saviour’s suffering at the cross. No wonder I love to sing “Hallelujah, what a Saviour”!
