Fr. 5/31/13: Isaiah 53:3 – 5            What were the limits a picture of?

He is despised and rejected by men,

A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.

And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;

He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

Surely He has borne our griefs

And carried our sorrows;

Yet we esteemed Him stricken,

Smitten by God, and afflicted.

But He was wounded for our transgressions,

He was bruised for our iniquities;

The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,

And by His stripes we are healed.

What were the limits a picture of? These limits are a picture of Jesus Christ. No sin, no pleasure, no ease, just a perfect sacrifice.
