Based off Isaiah 53
Who has believed our message?
To whom has our Lord been revealed?
He had no beauty or majesty;
His looks, to none did appeal.
He was despised, rejected.
A man of much suff’ring and pain,
From whom people have hid their faces,
then looked on Him with disdain.
Surely He took up our pain.
Our sorrow He bore on Himself.
Punished by God, we did judge Him so.
By His wounds, we are made well.
We all, like sheep, have wandered;
Each one of us turned his own way.
The Lord has taken upon Himself
Our sin, so we do not pay.
It was God’s will to crush Him,
To cause Him to suffer for us.
He paid the price for us to be free,
So we’re not mastered by lust.
By grace, through faith we are saved.
We are given new life in Christ.
By faith, we died with Him to our sin.
Through Christ, we now walk in light.

Christ’s Free Servant, Sue J Love
I was just reading about this chapter the other day, Sue – my favorite chapter in the Old Testament. Some people in Judaism call it the “forbidden chapter,” because so many have come to believe in Jesus as their Messiah from reading this passage. (My next post will probably be about it. 🙂 )

Annie, thank you for sharing that with me. I will watch for your next post. That is good news that chapter in the Bible is leading many people to faith in Jesus Christ.
