—Isaiah 53:1-9
by: Angie Osborn.
This passage presents a powerful picture of what Christ did for each of us. He did not live in the lap of luxury with all the comforts of man as he lived on earth. His life here was hard and filled with pain; ultimately Christ gave his very life in a painful, horrific death. All of that suffering was for us. He died so we could live. He suffered so we could rejoice. He bore our burdens and sins to make us right with God. At times, we gloss over the suffering and the pain that Christ endured, but it was real. Thank God today for the sacrifice of Christ and the freedom that sacrifice brings to us as believers.
