Isaiah 53:3-7, 10, 11 12;
He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him. He was despised and and we did not esteem Him.
Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. Yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
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 head.
All we like sheep have one astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity (sin) of us all.
He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so He opened not His mouth.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief when You make His soul an offering for sin.
Because He poured out His soul, and He was numbered with the transgressors.
He bore the sins of many, and made intercession for the transgressors (the sinners)
Inspiration.
Jesus, our beloved Saviour suffered immense cruelty on Calvary’s cross for our salvation and redemption.
Jesus was the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the entire world, and He was crucified by cruel, wicked men.
Sin caused a division between God and humanity.
So God sent Jesus to save us.
He suffered and died so that we can be forgiven, be saved, be reconciled to our Creator God, be part of the family of God, and receive the gift of eternal life.
Sin caused a dreadful, guilty stain on humanity.
Jesus’ precious blood washes and cleanses us from our guilty stains -from our sins.
