—Isaiah 52:13-53:3
by: Gem Barton.
The prophet Isaiah foretold of the coming of Jesus and the suffering He would endure. Our Lord left His place in glory so that we may receive salvation. He was despised by men, ridiculed, and forsaken. Romans 8:32-33 tells us that God did not spare His Son but delivered Him up so that we might be saved. Jesus paid a debt for sin that He did not owe; a debt we owe but could never pay. The great thing about Jesus’ suffering is that it provided a plan for our redemption and He is our salvation plan, the Savior of the world.
