ISAIAH 52:13-53:12
JOHN 18:1-19:42
REFLECTION.
the servant of God in Isaiah's prophesy would suffer untold prosecution and death, although he had done no wrong himself to deserve such treatment. His suffering would be a vicarious one for others. When Jesus was tried tortured and crucified, he did not suffer and die in vain. His suffering was for sinful humanity, who should have suffered and died for their transgression .it pleases God that his own son, like the suffering servant, should suffer and die in place of humanity. Thanks to the death and suffering of the son of God, humanity has been spared . He won salvation for us by his suffering and death. He is the throne of grace to anyone who draws near to him.such a person will receive mercy and grace in time of need. He will receive salvation and never see death.
