Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
In order to fully address the issue of risk, as it pertains to rescuing the physically or spiritually wounded, we would do well to observe what Christ had to go through to save us, when we were in dire need, for the scriptures teach us that our salvation cost Jesus very dearly indeed, as he came to save us from eternal ruin.
As the mortal adversary of man leveled his artillery against generations of people, we would have been helpless, like the wounded man in the story, unless Someone stepped up to the plate to rescue us, but in doing so Jesus exposed His own soul to the fiery darts of the wicked one, and in the process, Jesus finally lost His life.
And as the good Samaritan did in the narrative, God not only took the risk, but He went on to provide all that we would need in order to be fully restored. In many cases, rescuing persons who may be in grave danger would involve some level of risk. Therefore, as The God of heaven pondered our salvation, the prospect of inherent risk loomed large.
Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
