Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on earth. -Fyodor Dostoevsky, novelist (1821-1881)
Isaiah's portrait of Jesus Christ:
"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief...surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows...He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities" (Isaiah 53: 3,4,5).
Again the incomprehensible is realized:
"And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross" (Philippians 2:8).
Oh, what a Savior!
Oh, hallelujah!
He shed His lifeblood for me.
