Book excerpt: The 39 stripes Jesus endured were not only for our salvation, healing, and deliverance, but for our protection, peace, sanctification, righteousness, eternal inheritance--and so much more. The suffering inflicted upon Jesus on the way to the cross was beyond any pain we can imagine. God's Son suffered this agony to guarantee every benefit we can now receive.The blood shed by Christ is not just a historical event that happened 2,000 years ago, it is for you today. In this book you will discover that every favor, benefit, and blessing we receive is because of the blood of Christ.
