“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.” - Isaiah 53:3-5
Written 700 years before the cross, Isaiah saw it clearly. Every wound was foretold. Every sorrow was fulfilled by the Man of Sorrows. What looked like tragedy to those watching was, in God's sovereign plan, the only way our debt could be paid. The suffering was not a surprise to Jesus; it was the plan from the beginning!
"Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted" from the album Together For The Gospel III (Live)
Stricken, smitten, and afflicted
See Him dying on the tree!
‘Tis the Christ by man rejected
Yes, my soul, ‘tis He, ‘tis He!
‘Tis the long-expected Prophet
David’s son, yet David’s Lord
By His Son God now has spoken
‘Tis the true and faithful Word
