Father God, such mixed emotions reading these passages of the prophet Isaiah. We are brought to tears when we read about the Jesus, our Messiah, and how he was destined to suffer and to die for us. He was without sin, but he became sin for us. He was beaten, and took on all manner of sickness and disease until he was no longer recognizable... all for us. He bore our iniquities. He took on our guilt and our shame. He poured out his soul even to death. But the story didn't end there. He took our place in hell. And he defeated the enemy and death and rose again. And because he lives, we have life everlasting through him. We are so, so grateful, Father, for such an incredible sacrifice, for such amazing love. We can never say thank you or praise you enough. Amen
