My pastor shared this story this morning.

Great reminder.

"Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him..." - Isaiah 53:10

Good Friday

Surely he took up our pain

and bore our suffering, 

yet we considered him punished by God, 

stricken by him, and afflicted. 

5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, 

he was crushed for our iniquities; 

the punishment that brought us peace was on him, 

and by his wounds we are healed. 

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, 

each of us has turned to our own way; 

and the LORD has laid on him 

the iniquity of us all. ~Isaiah 53:4-6 

"For God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." ~John 3:16
