he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
and with his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53;5)
This is one of my all time favorite passages of scripture. One thing that stands out is that it is a prophecy. Clearly God had given Isaiah this vision of the suffering that Christ would experience and Isaiah understood that it was all for our sake. This brings to mind that God knows our future. He already knows everything that we have done or will do, and still He loves us and never stops pursuing us. That's love...
