Jesus Christ: A Man of Sorrows


Isaiah 53:4
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
Jesus, our Redeemer, suffered in the flesh. HE suffered the pain of all. He bore our griefs and sorrows. He experienced and felt all our pain and suffering and guilt. He knows what we are going through in this lifetime. He knows how we feel when we are sick, are disappointed, get hurt, feel inadequate, sin. He experienced all these things in Gethsemane and on the Cross. He was stricken and smitten and afflicted in every possible manner, beyond our comprehension.
Jesus experienced pain, afflictions, and temptations of  every kind. He knows what cancer is like, what heart attacks are like, what brain damage is like, how it feels to be criticized. He experienced all these things and all other possible things we can’t even imagine. He is the Savior and Redeemer. It pleased the Father to bruise Him , to make Him the Savior of the world. He lives and loves everyone.  He died that all might live.
