What does it mean that Christ's body was broken for us?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's body being broken signifies His sacrificial death, which provides healing and redemption for sinners.

When Christ said, 'This is my body, which is given for you,' it highlights His willingness to sacrifice Himself for the sins of humanity. His body was broken, fulfilling prophecies like those in Isaiah that state 'by His stripes we are healed.' This act not only refers to physical suffering but, more importantly, the spiritual healing from sin that He provides through His atoning sacrifice. Therefore, understanding His broken body is essential for grasping the depth of God's love and the scope of salvation.
