"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."~from ISAIAH 61 Bible verse for this Blog

APOLOGY to READERS who followed a SEARCH to HERE & didn't find it

On July 18, 2017, I drafted almost 3000 blog posts that I had published since 2008 when I began blogging, rather than edit each one. So if you clicked here from somewhere else and ended up with the post unavailable or error, I am sorry but this is why. It'd be too much work for me to go back and fix them. There's an explanation on 7/19/17 as I'm still learning.

"... BY HIS WOUNDS, WE ARE HEALED ..." ~ 2

[image credit: Time of Grace]

which comes from 


Today's portion of Isaiah 53 is verse 10

"...Yet the Lord was willing
To crush Him,causing Him to suffer;
If He would give Himself as a guilt offering [an atonement for sin],
He shall see His [spiritual] offspring,
He shall prolong His days,
And the will (good pleasure) of the Lord shall succeed and prosper in His hand." AMPLIFIED

Time of Grace's devotional for today with this verse is 

"Scourged"

" ... You can add God’s name to the list as well. What!? God caused Jesus’ suffering? Yes. Behind the lash of the scourge was the hand of God, who was pouring out the judgment, wrath, and punishment for the sins of the entire world upon the Son. Isaiah’s prophetic insights allow us to see what was really happening in Jerusalem on Good Friday: ... {insert today's Bible verse} ... 

this is just a small portion of the brief devotional

the part that follows the above portion

describes the

"SCOURGING"

even by the sound of the word, it sounds so awful

I really can't imagine such gruesome treatment!

especially on the Son of God

One who did nothing

and

certainly did not deserve it

{however, I have a hard time thinking that anyone does}

"It is hard to understand why God would crush His innocent Servant. 
But it is in His suffering for sin that God deals decisively with sin 
and its harmful effects."
