By his wounds you have been healed.

1 Peter 2:24

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.

This is a vivid description of resolve to my greatest battle of feeling destroyed by another person.  We think of the depth and embarrassing marks of our personal wounds like a cloak of identity.  But when you consider Christs wounds-- remember that scene in The Passion when Jesus is being brutally beaten with  flesh tearing chains?  The excess of blood pouring from his head, back, arms, legs, hands and feet...  The final blow to his side that poured more water than blood at that point.  

"By his wounds you have been healed."

When I consider Christs wounds and the dark truth that my sin brought forth the necessity of that pouring blood I do not feel destroyed but given life abundant to live proclaiming this radical sacrifice for my sin.  

There is no comparison because Jesus paid it all.
