This is what Isaiah says about Jesus in
verse three of chapter 53:
"He was despised and forsaken of men
A man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief.
And like one from whom men hide
their faces,
He was despised, and we did not
esteem Him." (Isaiah 53:3)
Jesus was not,
verse three of chapter 53:
"He was despised and forsaken of men
A man of sorrows, and acquainted
with grief.
And like one from whom men hide
their faces,
He was despised, and we did not
esteem Him." (Isaiah 53:3)
Jesus was not,
- Number One
- happy go lucky
- adored
- honored
- loved by the masses
Jesus was:
- hated
- despised
- dishonored
- isolated from the group
- familiar with sorrow and grief
Why did Jesus, God in the flesh, have to suffer so?
Because only by identifying with everything human,
could He deliver us out of our mess. And, who can
trust a God who has never suffered?
Dearest reader, do you know this Jesus?
