“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.” (Isaiah 53:6 NKJV). Chapter 53 is about God’s suffering servant, the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Messiah, who came to earth to die on the cross, securing our salvation. The verse in focus describes our condition and thus our need for a savior. We are described as sheep, wondering around from here to there to satisfy the desires of our heart, unaware of the dangers around us. Going off on our own, we have done things that we shouldn't have, estranging us from God. Those whom God has chosen, he has taken our iniquity and placed them on him, setting us free from the bondage of sin, to enjoy an eternal relationship with him.
Prayer
Father, thank you for salvation, setting us free from sin and death, to enjoy your love and kindness of your grace forever. Because of our sin we deserved justice, but through Jesus Christ you have shown us mercy and grace. How can we ever thank you enough, but by faithfully serving you out of love and gratitude. God, (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) thank you for the gift of salvation and its result in our lives.
