He Felt Our Pain


Isaiah 53:1-5

New Century Version (NCV)
    Who would have believed what we heard?
       Who saw the Lord's power in this?
 2 He grew up like a small plant before the Lord,
       like a root growing in a dry land.
    He had no special beauty or form to make us notice him;
       there was nothing in his appearance to make us desire him.
 3 He was hated and rejected by people.
       He had much pain and suffering.
    People would not even look at him.
       He was hated, and we didn't even notice him.

 4 But he took our suffering on him
       and felt our pain for us.
    We saw his suffering
       and thought God was punishing him.
 5 But he was wounded for the wrong we did;
       he was crushed for the evil we did.
    The punishment, which made us well, was given to him,
       and we are healed because of his wounds.

To Encourage...

Hebrews 10:23-25 English Standard Version (ESV) 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Spiritual Significance

John 15:5 New King James Version (NKJV) 5  “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. "One day, a wise friend helped me understand this verse more fully by saying, “Apart from me you can do nothing  of spiritual significance,  nothing  of   etern al value.” - Caran Jantzen

To Stand

Ephesians 6:12-13 King James Version (KJV) 12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
