| Chastisement |
Smitten by God, and afflicted. "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.
Isa. 53:4-5
People who witnessed the way wicked men brutalized Jesus thought God was punishing him as a sinner, "but" only men punished him as a sinner. The unlawful execution and many other vile ways he was mistreated are the sins he bore,
Let my accusers be clothed with shame,
And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle. Ps.109:29
Our Father never punishes us to condemn us, but he does chastise all his children to teach us and his only begotten Son didn't exempt himself from that.
though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. Heb.5:8
The wording makes it sound like, "Jesus needed to learn", but the context of this passage is "Gods' chastisement. The thinking here should be, "Since Jesus submitted himself to correction, who are we not to?",
Heb.12 shows how our Savior experienced "the chastisement of our peace" spoken of by Isaiah,
it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Heb.12:11
He did this to teach us how our Father is and how his Son is and how they want us to be,
Three times I was beaten with rods..... I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus. 2Cor.11:25, Gal.6:17
When "his stripes" get laid on his children and we continue to love those who hate us, that's when his children understand the gospel.
