Piñata

 

      The dictionary describes a piñata as a container broken to get gifts inside. Also as a decorated papier-mâché container of candy or small gifts that is hung from the ceiling and is hit and broken by blindfolded people with sticks.

2 Corinthians 9:15  NKJV    

“Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!”

     A human body was the container that housed Jesus, the Son of God, a very wonderful gift to man.

John 1:14  NKJV   

  “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”

     Jesus Christ, the Son of God was hung on a cross as our sin offering for our sin. It would have been enough for Jesus to shed His blood for our salvation, however He  provided much more for us. He allowed His body to be beaten beyond recognition for our healing (spiritual, physical, emotional, and much more). Prior to being hung on the cross Jesus was beaten by spiritually blind people, unknown to them each stripe providing for our healing.

Isaiah 53:5  NKJV   

  “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.”
