Who has believed our message? To whom has the Lord revealed his powerful arm? My servant grew up in the Lord’s presence like a tender green shoot, like a root in dry ground. There was nothing beautiful or majestic about his appearance, nothing to attract us to him. He was despised and rejected— a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way.
He was despised, and we did not care.
He was despised, and we did not care.
Isaiah 53:1-3 NLT
He was rejected and despised by men. And He suffered for our sake, that we might have life. We must not forget that when Jesus came to earth, He came intending to suffer and die a sinner’s death. A man who knew no sin at all would take every single one for us.

Today, reflect on the sacrifice Jesus made, which served as the whole reason He came in the first place.

Prayer:
Father,
We pray again Paul's prayer for believers - that we would have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep Your love is - that the whole reason You came was to die in our place to pay for our sins. May we experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully, so that we will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from You. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
