A Painful Reminder!
‘A Painful Reminder.’
Proverbs 20:30.
We all have our views about corporal punishment. No emotionally healthy person likes giving or receiving it. The Bible teaches that for God’s Jewish people in the Old Testament times it was effective. It is still a deterrent in some Nations today. We are also to remember the torture and beating that Jesus endured for us before He was crucified for us.
a) Evil is cleansed away by:-
1- Wounding blows.
2- The bruising of a wound.
3- The blueness of a wound.
4- Physical punishment.
b) Beatings purge the innermost parts.
c) Stripes cleanse the inner parts of the being.
d) Such discipline purifies the heart.

‘A Profitable Declaration.’
Acts 20:20-21.
a) Apostle Paul did not shrink from declaring the Word of God.
b) He taught:-
1- What was profitable.
2- Publicly.
3- From house to house.
c) He testified and had one Message:-
1- For Jews and Gentiles alike.
2- Of repentance towards God.
3- Of Faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus was wounded for our transgressions. His torture was extremely severe. The Bible tells us that when Jesus hung on the Cross He was hardly recognisable as a human being. He suffered this bloody bruising and beating for us so that we do not have to be bruised and beaten for our sins.
