March 29th, 2023 by Pastor SolleyIsa 53:10-12 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
KJV
So thankful today for Jesus and what Jesus did in coming into this sin cursed world and shedding His blood as He died on the cross so that we might be, so that I could be saved. Jesus was numbered with the transgressors and made and does make intercession for all who will repent of sin and call upon His name for forgiveness and salvation. There are many who have suffered and are suffering in this world. Many who have went through strong trials and some wonder why. Even as we go through times of testing we often wonder why. But before we try and say how unfair life is we need to remember how unfair life was to Jesus. Jesus knew no sin, deserved no harsh treatment, yet He bore your sin and mine. That is unfair. Jesus, even after we rejected Him time and time again received us when we called on His name and made intercession for us in heaven. It pleased the Father to have Jesus bruised for us. When we think of how unfair life is, and it often is, we need to think of Jesus and what He is to us. So thankful today for Jesus taking my sin upon Himself and making intercession for me. Even as I treat Him unfairly He still makes intercession for me. Just so thankful for Jesus today.
