Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. All of us, like sheep, have strayed away. We have left God’s paths to follow our own. Yet the Lord laid on him the sins of us all.
Isaiah 53:4-6 NLT
It is the beginning of what is commonly known as Holy Week; yet there is nothing common about it. Do you know the story? Do you ken what Christ for God did for us?
Prayer:
Father,
How can we ever thank You
enough? The answer is simple... we cannot. We want to go where You want us to
go, Lord. We want to do what You would have us do. We want to fulfill Your
expectation of us; the plan You have for each of our lives. Help us, O God, our
Lord and Redeemer. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
