What Jesus really did for You

Isaiah 53 really puts into perspective the suffering Jesus took upon Himself to save each and every one of us, purely because His love is so amazing. Here is Isaiah 53 in my own words.

Who believes? Who has encountered God?

Jesus came as a humble servant and grew up as a human, a breath of fresh air to the people. He was not made to look beautiful or important in any way, and he was not particularly eye-catching.

He became hated, rejected, made to feel sad and upset and alone, beyond belief or imagination.

We ignored Him and turned away from Him, everyone hated Him but we didn't even care one bit.

Even so, He carried our weaknesses, He look all our sadness upon Himself too. But we still were blind and thought God must have been punishing Him for His own sin. Yet He never once did anything wrong. He was innocent.

He was cut, whipped, beaten, pierced - all for our sins. He was totally crushed. He was beaten so we could be made perfect in God's eyes, His very own Father's beautiful eyes. He was whipped so we could receive healing in His holy name. For He bore all our wounds and sickness.

Each and every one of us have walked away and rejected Him, like sheep. We took the road we wanted, the dark road, instead of the lit path, full of Jesus' dynamite power and God's brilliant light. But even though we knowingly took chose the wrong path, the Lord laid on His only (precious) Son every single sin of every one of us.

He was treated unfairly, oppressed, abused - but He never once complained or resisted. He did not utter or whisper. He was led willingly to His death, and once again His mouth stayed shut.

Unfairly put to death, He was stolen by those whose sins He was taking upon Himself. Nobody even cared - that He would have no children, that He was to die young. But He was killed on a cross because we closed our eyes and chose not to hear the truth.

He had done nothing at all wrong and had never even had a bad thought about anyone. He was full of love, compassion and mercy towards the very people that put Him to death. He was buried like a criminal, and in a rich man's grave He was laid.

But it was His Father's plan to cause Jesus this torture and destruction. When Jesus took our place and died with our sin upon Himself as the ultimate sacrifice, He will have many descendants. And enjoy long life, and the Lord's plan will not go to waste.

When Jesus sees that His suffering and shame was instead of ours, He will be contented. Because of His terrible experience, His righteousness makes way for salvation of all us people who choose Him - He took all our sins away, brought them upon Himself.

God will place Jesus on high and be thankful to Him (as shall we) because He died for us, each and every one of us. He was looked on as a sinner, a rebel, but instead He took our sin, cleansed us and made us pure, clean, whole. He saved even the worst sinner from destruction by sacrificing His life, being hated yet never stopping loving us with a deep, never-ending, never failnig, agape love.

That love is still available to us today. Just allow Jesus into your heart and you will be made whole again.
