Have you ever seen an avalanche? It’s one of the most frightening of all natural phenomena. Snow cascading down a mountain sometimes at speeds up to 100 mph! The power of an avalanche can uproot trees like little weeds or rip boulders off the sides of mountains. It can tumble mountain side cabins or even ski lodges like tinker toys. And when finally, it settles, there’s usually a deep fresh blanket of snow, sometimes 10 or 20 feet deep, covering everything with pure white. I’ve only seen it as recorded by video tape, but it sure seems like a frightening transformation of the landscape. I’ve chosen that avalanche image to begin our time together today because we’re continuing our look at one of the most powerful verses in the entire Bible written by Isaiah the prophet about 2700 years ago: “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.” (Is. 53:5) We’ve looked at the graphic, horrific crucifixion of Jesus Christ as the outpouring of God’s Justice wrath on the sins of humanity, in which Jesus was immersed by God as He hung on the cross as our atoning sacrifice. We’ve looked at the reality that perfect, holy Jesus paid the full sin debt death price for all humanity.
