The Glory Of His Death

The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling,
a scrubby plant in a parched field.
There was nothing attractive about him,
nothing to cause us to take a second look.
He was looked down on and passed over,
a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.
One look at him and people turned away.
We looked down on him, thought he was scum.
But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—
our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.
We thought he brought it on himself,
that God was punishing him for his own failures.
But it was our sins that did that to him,
that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins!
He took the punishment, and that made us whole.
Through his bruises we get healed.
We're all like sheep who've wandered off and gotten lost.
We've all done our own thing, gone our own way.
And God has piled all our sins, everything we've done wrong,
on him, on him. Isaiah 53:2-6

They are talking about Jesus in this passage in Isaiah. They are talking about Him who is to come. Everything that is said has happened to Him. It just shows how much punishment Jesus took, and it was all for us.

I can't thank God enough for the endurment that Jesus took at the hands of humans. He is God. He could have done something to stop all the injustice, but he took it all freely for us, for our lives. He is awesome and only He could have done it.

Lord, I thank you soo much for Jesus, Your Son, for dying of the cross for my sins. I thank you for all the punishment that you took. I thank you for every whip that slashed your skin. I thank you for ever insult shouted at you. I thank you for ever spit that touched you. I thank you for everything that you endured, because it was all for me. I can never thank you enough, my Lord. I give you so much praise. I glorify your name. I give my life for you, because you have purchased it with blood. Lord, I give thanks in Your name. I thank you for everything, for your death, so that I may have this opportunity to live for you. I give you all the glory in my life. Use it for your kingdom. I say all these things in Your Holy name.
Amen.
