Good Friday

Today is Good Friday

This is a great day today for me & many others. Today JESUS went to the cross to take the sin that i deserved away from me to satisfy Gods wrath. Lets turn to the word of God.

Isaiah 53:1
Who has believed what they heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
Isa 53:2 For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.
Isa 53:3 He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
Isa 53:4 Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.
Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.
Isa 53:6 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.
Isa 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth.
Isa 53:8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people?
Isa 53:9 And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
Isa 53:10 Yet it was the will of the LORD to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
Isa 53:11 Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities.
Isa 53:12 Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.

This chapter has opened my eyes to many treasures. Like in ver:5 He was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities. Why did God do this, if you go to John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

When i read john 3:16 i can not help putting Isa 53:5 together God so loved the world, God so loved the world that He " CRUSHED " His only begotten Son. There is so much more i want to say about these verses but i will at a later time. If you want to know the Lord, turn to the Cross . What is the Cross you might be thinking? The Cross is the Heart of the Gospel and makes the Gospel Goodnews! This is all for now getting late goodnight & Godspeed to all.
More to come!
