The word bruised or daka in the Hebrew means, beat to pieces, break in pieces, crush, destroy, or smite. Jesus Christ, the Son of God died a excruciating death. He, when taken to th High priest from the garden of Gethsemane, was beaten. He was then brought before Pontius Pilate, where the soldiers whipped him, beat him with their hands, mocked and spat on him. The Lord Jesus Christ by this time, being led up Calvary's hill, with a crown of thorns on his head, was a bloody mess. This was the Roman way of crucifixion, to demoralize those they crucified.

What does this mean preacher? I say to you there is more to this than meets the eye. Jesus when he hung on the cross said; Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. The  people that passed by that day to look upon him taunted him by saying, come down from the cross, if you be the Son of God. We will believe, if you will come down. The Chief priest, the scribes and elders of the Jewish faith, the Roman soldiers, and no doubt countless others who had seen and heard about the miracles Jesus had done were saying, why want he save himself if he is really the Son of God? There were those there that day, although very painful to watch, knew in their heart why he could not come down from that cross. He could not come down because he loved you and I so much. You are his creation and He does not want to see you die in your sins. He gave his life as a sacrifice for yours, so you might have life and have more abundantly.

The bible says the Roman centurion and those with him feared greatly and said, Truly this was the Son of God, when they witnessed the earthquake and the things that happened that day. John 3:16 says; For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. He was truly bruised for our sins.
