—Isaiah 53:1-6
by: Margaret Taylor.
It is impossible for us to comprehend even a small part of what Jesus took upon Himself for the redemption of mankind. I have difficulty imagining how it would feel to take punishment for someone else convicted of a crime and sentenced to death. Even if I could, it would not erase their guilt. What an awesome thing our Lord has done! Humanity did not understand who He was or the purpose of His punishment. Still, He came and endured the mental, emotional, and physical agony of rejection and abuse. Silently, He carried the blame for our sins and cancelled our guilt. Now the truth is known—we are healed and set free!
