Topical Encyclopedia
The term "woundest" is an archaic form of the verb "wound," which means to inflict an injury or damage upon someone or something. In the context of the Bible, wounds can be both physical and spiritual, often symbolizing deeper moral or spiritual truths. The concept of wounding is frequently used in Scripture to describe the consequences of sin, the suffering of Christ, and the healing power of God.

Biblical References:

1. Physical Wounds:
· In the Old Testament, physical wounds are often mentioned in the context of battle or divine judgment. For example, in 1 Samuel 31:3, we read about Saul being critically wounded in battle: "The battle intensified against Saul, and the archers overtook him and wounded him critically."

2. Spiritual and Moral Wounds:
· The Bible also uses the imagery of wounds to describe the effects of sin and disobedience. In Jeremiah 30:14, God speaks of the wounds of His people due to their iniquity: "All your lovers have forgotten you; they no longer seek you. For I have struck you as an enemy would, with the discipline of someone cruel, because your guilt is great and your sins are many."

3. Wounds of Christ:
· The wounds of Christ are central to the Christian faith, symbolizing His sacrifice and the means of atonement for humanity's sins. Isaiah 53:5 prophetically speaks of the Messiah's suffering: "But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed."

4. Healing of Wounds:
· The Bible frequently speaks of God's power to heal both physical and spiritual wounds. Psalm 147:3 declares, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." This reflects the compassionate nature of God and His desire to restore and redeem His people.

Theological Significance:

The concept of wounding in the Bible often serves as a metaphor for the human condition and the need for divine intervention. Sin is depicted as a wound that separates humanity from God, necessitating healing through repentance and faith. The wounds of Christ are seen as the ultimate remedy, providing salvation and reconciliation with God.

In a broader sense, the imagery of wounds and healing underscores the themes of suffering, redemption, and restoration that run throughout Scripture. It highlights the reality of human brokenness and the hope of divine healing, both in this life and in the life to come.
