BIBLE MEDITATION:
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Jesus suffered like you suffer. But He suffered more than that, because He took not only your suffering; He also took upon Himself the suffering of the world. The sins of the world were compressed and distilled upon the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hebrew scholars tell us that there is an intensive plural in Isaiah 53 that speaks of the death of Christ. They say that it literally means that He “died a thousand deaths.”
Do you know what that means? That Jesus, being infinite, suffered for a finite amount of time what you, being finite, would suffer for an infinite amount of time. A great exchange took place. He suffered upon that cross an eternity of hell for every one of us.
ACTION POINT:
Tell the Lord Jesus today how much you thank Him and are grateful for what He did to secure your salvation. This hymn writer expressed it to well…
“What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, was all for sinners’ gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression, but Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to me Thy grace.”
