Isaiah
53:3-5 NASB (3) He was despised and forsaken of men, A
man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their
face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. (4) Surely our griefs He
Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him
stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. (5) But He was pierced through for our
transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our
well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.
The rejection of Jesus was Prophesied, Planned, and
Produced. Isaiah is telling us that
Jesus will come to the world and instead of being accepted as the Messiah, he
will be rejected, mocked, beaten, and crucified. Jesus being with God from the beginning willingly
came to earth fully God and fully man to be the sacrifice to reconcile man back
to God.
God planned it; Isaiah prophesied it and Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John all record the production of it.
Tell someone about Jesus.
Happy New Year
