Is. 53:3-4. A man of Sorrows

Not His own sorrows or originating from His own conduct.

Sorrows: Pains, anguish of spirit, soul and body.

'The sorrows of death compassed me and the pains of hell.......' Ps.46:3.

No sorrows come from Christ, He is the Son of the Blessed. Mark 14:61. God is a happy

person, and what God is, Christ is, Ps.16:11, Heb.1:3.

The fulness of joy and these pleasures for evermore which are in Christ are not only for you, but for God Himself, Rom.8:26,30.

A man of sorrows, 'Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows'

Our griefs: Personal to us, many in number, sicknesses of all kinds, tensions that make us sick,fears , wounds, calamities-all distorting the mind, body and spirit, affecting the whole man and ending in death. The common portion of man.

Our sorrows,Men accept them as their lot, Anguish of spirit, soul and body, affliction from within and without, sore diseases.

A heavy burden was lifted from us, the whole human race and taken upon Jesus Christ.

The Lord Jesus was a man of sorrows. He was identified with me at Calvary. He was numbered with the transgressors. God made Him to be sin for us, He who knew no sin, 2 Cor.5:21.

He did not become sinful, 1John 1:5, 3:5. He did not become sick. His body saw no corruption, Ps.16:10. By going to Calvary, Christ took all our sins, and all our sicknesses

with Him to the Cross.He took the punishment of God's rightful anger for your sins and mine, the sins which brought this heavy burden upon us.

All our sins, our griefs, our sorrows were entinguished,blotted out of God's sight in the fury

of Calvary,vanished from God's memory, Heb.10:17.

All the charges against us disappeared at Calvary. Christ nailed them there, taking them

out of the way,Col.2:14.

A man of sorrows.They have gone,the man Christ Jesus remains,the one and only mediator

between God and man, 1 Tim.2:5.

Behold my Servant, Is.42:1.

Behold the Lamb of God,,John1:29.

He was wounded for our.....Is.53.

Believe on the Lo5rd Jesus.....Acts 16:31.
