But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
These words were written more than 600 years before Jesus was born. They speak of immeasurable pain and suffering. Even more amazing is the fact that this suffering was a choice.
Jesus did not suffer because of anything he had done; he was not being punished for his own wrongdoings. He chose the path to Calvary. We read that he set his face towards Jerusalem knowing exactly the fate that awaited him.
The only question left is one word,'WHY'.
What would motivate someone to go through all that torturous suffering for something he didn't do? The answer is one word, 'LOVE'.
Love for you and me!
