It's Him for me
from The HILLTop Hosted by Bishop Terry L. Hill, Jr.
Isaiah 53, written 700 years before the birth of Christ, describes the suffering of Jesus with stunning detail and divine certainty. He was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities, meaning He bore both what we did against God and what we became as a result. The punishment required to produce our peace, our shalom, our complete wholeness and restoration, was placed entirely on Him. He paid what He did not owe because we owed what we could not pay. Even more remarkable, Isaiah 53:11 tells us that after all of His suffering, Jesus looked at what it would produce and was satisfied. He saw you, He saw who you are becoming, and He decided it was worth it. The call on our lives is to stop treating His grace as something casual and to start living in a way that honors what His death made possible.
