A Man of Sorrows
You know, the Bible says that Jesus was sometimes called A Man of Sorrows.
Even though today it gives us great joy to know Jesus, in order for us to experience that, He had to leave His home in heaven, and come down and take the form of a human body, and be obedient to His Father and humble Himself, even unto death on a cross.
But because He did that, now we can come to Him with our own griefs, and our sorrows and our sins, and we can be forgiven, and we can know Him as our Lord and Savior. And even our friend.
But, when He was here, the Bible says He suffered more than any man, especially on the cross.
And I want to share with you a song today from Isaiah 53, called A Man of Sorrows. And this chapter in the Bible, predicts the death of Jesus on the cross, thousands of years before it happened. And now, thousands of years afterwards, we can know Him as our personal Savior.
So, for those of us maybe today who are experiencing grief and sorrow, we know that we can come to Jesus with that, and He will lift it from us. He will carry us, and He will bear away our griefs and our sorrows, whatever may be concerning us today. He knows all about, and He cares. And He’s powerful to help us.
So, I just want to share this song with you called Man of Sorrows.
He was a Man of Sorrows
And acquainted with grief
He was a Man of Sorrows
And acquainted with grief
We hid our faces from Him
He was smitten of God
He was bruised for our iniquities
With His stripes we are healed
He was oppressed and afflicted
Yet He opened not His mouth
He was oppressed and afflicted
Yet He opened not His mouth
Brought as a Lamb to the slaughter
A Sheep before shearers
For the punishment of us all
And with His stripes we are healed
He made His grave with the wicked
And the rich in His death
He made His grave with the wicked
And rich in His death
He who had done no evil
No sin was in His mouth
For the punishment of us all
And with His stripes we are healed
