Lord, You were bruised for my iniquity.

 Amen. "Lord, You were bruised for my iniquity" is the deep, painful, and beautiful truth of the cross—the confession that Jesus took upon Himself the crushing weight of our sin, our guilt, and our shame. He was bruised so we could be healed. He was broken so we could be made whole. He bore the wounding of our iniquity so we could receive the wholeness of His righteousness.
