Surely

Surely He has borne our grief's (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains [of punishment]… Isaiah 53:4 AMPC

 

Jesus provided a certainty for us when he died on the cross not only for our sins but for "our grief's (sickness, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our sorrows and pains." We can bear witness to this truth with confidence because God's word says he has "surely" completed it. There are 13 Hebrew words and 7 Greek words that derive from the word "sure" which holds the following meanings: to be firm, faithful, true, Covenant, certainty, truth, trustworthiness, to trust, be confident, sure to bind, to know, settle, consult, establish, security, assurance, to rise, permanent, embolden, capture, to watch, secure, to render, stable, certain, binding, to know, trustworthy, reliable, solid, make sure, strengthen, firm of force, be resolved. So no matter what we experience in life (even our own inability to get things right) Jesus covered it all on the cross he carried it so we wouldn't have to…Oh what a mighty God we serve!!!! We have the assurance of knowing that whatever we face God has already provided the remedy for us to come through victorious, it is a done deal. Our job is to rest in the Grace and Mercy of Jesus Christ. Every time we confess Jesus over our situation we defeat this evil world (1 John 5:4 NIV). Stand on the Word of God it will not fail you.

Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life…Psalms 23:6 NIV
