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

A Necessary Sacrifice

Hebrews 2:16-18 New Living Translation (NLT) 16 We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham. 17 Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters,[a] so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. 18 Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested.
