Charles Spurgeon Commentary 1 Peter 2:24

"who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed." — 1 Peter 2:24 (ASV)

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, –

There was a transference of sin from sinners to Christ. This is no fiction. He, his own self, bore that sin in his own body on the tree, –

That we, being dead to sins, –

Because he died for us, and we died in him, –

Should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

By his sufferings, you were cured of sin. His death not only removed from you the penalty of sin; but what is far better, it also removed from you the dread disease itself.
