He really loves me that much?!
Isaiah 53
1 Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?2 For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.3 He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4
Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.5 But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned--every one--to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?9 And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10
Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.
This is my Favorite Chapter. Who can truly say that you would give up your life for all the sinners and bad people in this world and not do anything bad or have anything that would make people love you and know that you are going to save them? I can honestly say that i could'nt do this. Jesus loved us so much that he gave his life for us "For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him." He did'nt do anything to make us love Him. And when everyone wanted to kill him he said NOTHING! He did'nt say "But i'm Jesus! son of God, why do you want to kill me when I have done nothing wrong?" No he did'nt do anything and we nailed him to a cross and yet he sill loves us! How crazy is that? He still loves us eventhough we gave Him up to die on a cross? YES! He sill loves us to this day eventhough we still do the wrong things and act as if He does'nt exist like we did back then. He will forgive us and no other peoson in this world can do that.
