One of my favorite T-shirts has a message on it that says—“Body Piercing Saved My Life”. People who notice it sometimes ask me what it means. I have had total strangers ask me, “How did that happen?” I answer, “It’s referring to Jesus.” Then a look of understanding comes across their face. Even those who aren’t Christians have heard about Jesus being crucified on a cross to pay for the sins of mankind. This is the good news of salvation that was foretold hundreds of years before the time of Christ. Isaiah 53:5 says, “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.”
