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. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed
(Isaiah 53:3-5).
How easily I forgot the price that was paid for me! Was paid in blood and suffering. Why do we walk around acting ungrateful and with a chip on our shoulder? Jesus did it all for us. He told us that we would have troubles and trials in this thing we call life. Lord God fill us with your joy and peace!
