He bore the sin of many, and made intersession for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:12
Jesus bore our sins and continually makes intersession for us when we sin, but how do we thank Him? Time and time again we turn away from Him, we transgress and rebel, we continually grieve His Holy Spirit, but my brothers and sisters in Christ, let us not put Christ to the test, because he promised, that, while he is merciful, His Spirit will not always strive with us.
“All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned, every one to his own way, and the Lord has laid on Him, the iniquity of us all.”
My brothers and sisters in Christ, Jesus bore the shame for our sins. “He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter and as a sheep before its shearers is silent. He was taken from prison and judgment and who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living, for the transgression of My people He was stricken. He had done no violence, nor was there any deceit in His mouth, yet, it pleased the Lord to bruise Him” What a price Jesus had to pay for a crime He did not commit!
He was despised and rejected by men; a Man of sorrow and acquainted with grief, and we hid, as it were, our faces from Him. He was despised and we did not esteem Him. Isaiah 53:3
“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.” Praise the Lord! Thank you, Lord!
Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or terrified of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4
I have set the Lord always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Psalm 16:8
Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you go through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, and the flames will not set you ablaze. Isaiah 43:1,2
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23:4
They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the Lord was my support. 2 Samuel 22:19
The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous man runs into it and is safe. Proverbs 18:10
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? The Lord is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him.”
Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and does them, I will show you what he is like Luke 6:47
“He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.” My brothers and sisters in Christ, let us build carefully on the foundation of Christ.
Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say? Luke 6:46
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Matthew 7:21
For it is not the hearers of the Law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the Law who will be declared righteous. Romans 2:13
Be doers of the word, and not hearers only. Otherwise, you are deceiving yourselves. James 1:22
