...there was nothing attractive about him, nothing to cause us to take a second look. he was looked down on & passed over, a man who suffered, a man who knew pain firsthand. one look @ him & people turned away. we looked down on him, thought he was scum.
but the fact is, it was our pains he carried - our disfigurements he wore, all the things wrong with us.
we thought he brought it on himself, that he was being punished for his own failures. ...but it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped & tore & crushed him--our sins.
he took the punishment, & that made us whole. through his bruises we got healed..
we're all like sheep who've wandered off & gotten lost. we've all done our own thing, gone our own way. ...& all our sins got piled on him, everything we've done wrong.
he was beaten, he was tortured, but he didn't say a word.
like a lamb taken to be slaughtered, he took it all in silence.
justice miscarried, & he was led off-- & did anyone really know what was happening?
he died without a thought for his own welfare, beaten bloody for our sins.
they buried him with the wicked, even though he'd never hurt a soul or said one word that wasn't true.
he embraced the company of the lowest, so that they could feel loved. he took on his shoulders the sin of many. he gave himself as an offering for our sins so that we wouldn't have to face the punishment we all deserve.
he looked death in the face & didn't flinch.
wow, that's what i call a hero.
thank you Jesus...

And this is my call to the faithful,
I'll be for only you.
Doing what you, have called to me,
no one could ever understand,
my shame you took with those nails in your hands
I love Jesus and I try my hardest to live for Him each day. He is the greatest hero I will ever have. Anyone who would die for everyone on this earth, even those who will reject Him is amazing in my eyes. I would love to talk to anyone that has any questions about Jesus or His word.
Jesus and church are a big part of my life.
I love my family and friends.
I play in a band called Ocean of Thieves.
I love music and going to shows.
I play 360 my gamertag is goatsonaboat89
