When he sees all that is accomplished by his anguish,
he will be satisfied.
And because of his experience,
my righteous servant will make it possible
for many to be counted righteous,
for he will bear all their sins.
Isaiah 53:11 NLT
***
“He took the punishment we deserved.
He took violence and crucifixion of man
and used it as the means to salvation.
He triumphed over death through death.
We can all come to Him with all our sin, doubts and disbelief.
The ugly regretful moments of our lives are exchanged for His righteousness.
This is the beauty of our God.”

***
If the grim realities you are facing at this time
seem dark and heavy and almost unbearable,
remember that in the soul-wrenching darkness of Gethsemane
and the incomprehensible torture and pain of Calvary,
the Savior accomplished the Atonement,
which resolves the most terrible burdens that can occur in this life.
He did it for you, and He did it for me.
He did it because He loves us and because He obeys and loves His Father.
We will be rescued from death – even from the depths of the sea.
