July 17 — Pierced for Our Transgressions — Chronological Audio Bible Reading | Isaiah 51–54 | Resolved to Read

In today's reading from Isaiah 51:1–23; 52:1–15; 53:1–12; and 54:1–3, we encounter some of the most stunning messianic prophecies in all of Scripture. Isaiah writes as if he were watching from the foot of the cross, centuries before it happened, describing how the Servant would be despised, rejected, pierced for our transgressions, and crushed for our iniquities. Yet even as the Servant suffers, God promises comfort, restoration, and an everlasting covenant of peace for His people. These chapters call us to look at Jesus—the One who bore our griefs, carried our sorrows, and by whose wounds we are healed.
