March 29 – He Took Up Our Pain

He Took Our Pain

How noble Lord Jesus is …

He was willing to die for us on the cross ...

And he was willing to endure our pain and suffering with all His heart ...

So that through Him we are all saved ...

What they did to Him was never appropriate to accept, but yet He accepted it steadfastly ...

What about us?

Are we willing to bear the cross that we have to face with all our heart as well?

For Jesus' sake, hopefully we can do so. (-fon-)

Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
    stricken by him, and afflicted.
⁵ But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed.
--- Isaiah 53:4-5

Kepedihan Kita Ditanggung-Nya

Begitu mulianya Tuhan Yesus…

Dia rela mati bagi kita di salib…

Dan Dia menanggung kepedihan dan sengsara kita dengan rela…

Sehingga oleh Dia kita sekalian diselamatkan…

Perlakuan yang sangat tidak pantas, diterima-Nya dengan tabah…

Bagaimana dengan kita?
Apakah kita juga  mau menanggung salib yang harus kita pikul dengan tabah pula?
Demi Yesus, semoga demikian adanya…

Tetapi sesungguhnya, penyakit kitalah yang ditanggungnya , dan kesengsaraan  kita yang dipikulnya, padahal kita mengira dia kena tulah, dipukul dan ditindas  Allah.  53:5 Tetapi dia tertikam oleh karena pemberontakan  kita  , dia diremukkan   oleh karena kejahatan kita; ganjaran  yang mendatangkan keselamatan  bagi kita ditimpakan kepadanya, dan oleh bilur-bilurnya   kita menjadi sembuh . 

 --- Yesaya 53:4-5
