“For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were [our] faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.” (Isaiah 53:2-3)
“He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.” (Isaiah 53:7)

Thank you for this precious look at what He endured out of His love for us! God bless you, Pastor Rob!
Thanks Debbie for your kind words. It is always such a wonder to stop and dwell on the display of love He made when He gave His all for us! Praying for you. Lord bless.
Reblogged this on My Delight and My Counsellors.
Yes, He endured all that for me . . . but the biggest wonder of all? He became SIN for me. The PERFECT Christ sank to the lowest depth possible. Incredible! but praise God, true!
Very well explained. Lord bless.
