First, it is NOT Isa. 53:3, but Isa. 53:5. You would know that if you had ever cracked a Bible open, instead of just throwing out 6 words. So, context, again, because you are a slow learner.
"Surely he took up our painand bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us all." Isa. 53:4-6
First, the entire chapter of Isa. 53 is about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins. It is in no place about physical healing. If you had read it, you would understand.
So what pain did Jesus take up? Well, the pain of our consequences of our transgressions, iniquities and sins.
Why was Jesus punished, including being whipped, and then having to carry his own cross. Well, because of our sins.
Why was Jesus pierced the the Roman swords? Well, because of our transgressions!
Why was Jesus crushed? Because of our iniquities.
Why was Jesus punished? So that we could have peace with God! Because our SINS separated us from God.
There is no peace, when you are separated from God. Our sickness did not separate us from God. Our sins did! Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and the woulds that we are healed from, are the wounds of sin and death.
Verses 7-9 detail how Jesus suffered because of us.
"Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin," Verse 53:10a.
So why did Jesus go to the cross? Very clearly, verse 10 above says - "he makes his life an offering for sin."
"because he poured out his life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For he bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors." Isa 53:12
Then, Isaiah finishes with the whole reason Jesus died.
Was it for healing of the body or healing of the soul? Because sin damages the soul. It wound us in our being. So, we need to be healed of the wounds of sin sickness.
When you pick 6 words out of the end of verse 5, you miss the entire purpose of Isa. 53 - that is to document - or in fact to prophecy how Jesus would die, how he would suffer both on the cross and on the way to the cross, so that he could bear the sin of many. He made his life an offering for sin.
This is the REAL gospel. And this is the message of Isaiah 53, Isaiah, the Old Testament and the New Testament! Not a few words carefully hidden, that are pulled out of context by deceitful teachers and liars who do not understand the basics of how to read the Bible! Nor do they understand the real gospel, as you do not seem to either.
