1 Peter 2:24-25

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we may cease from sinning and live for righteousness. By his wounds you were healed.  For you were going astray like sheep but now you have turned back to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

It is Jesus, the only one uniquely qualified to bear our sins. His punishment bought our healing. To all the lost sheep of God, it is time to come home. Return to the Shepherd of your souls. You have nothing to fear in returning, but everything to fear in staying away. Jesus has done it! He has freed you from hopelessness and separation from God. In Him you are free!
