The scriptures say that Jesus Christ suffered "stripes" or beatings and torture for our healing - 'by His stripes we are healed'.
Christ's death, the sacrifice of His life, was payment for our sins. When He died He was completely on His own. Even His Father, God the Father to whom He prayed had turned aside. Listen to this profound sermon on Christ's sacrifice. Few indeed understand that Jesus Christ was the member of 'Elohim' Who actually spoke at creation - "Let US make man in OUR image". He spoke to Abraham and Moses. Heat was Who wrote the Ten Commandments in stone. As creator of human life only His death could atone for all of human sin. But while on Earth He also qualified to rule the Earth as King of kings and Lord of lords.
