Verses in Isaiah, verses four through six about how Jesus is born our griefs and carried our sorrows been pierced for our transgressions

Crushed for our

Eniquities how we like sheep have gone astray. We've turned everyone to his own way and the Lord is laid on him the

Iniquity of us all and that's the truth that

Verse 10 then puts an exclamation point on it's the Lord who laid on his son the

Iniquity of us all. Verse 10 says it was the will of the Lord to crush him that God ordained the crucifixion of his son

I just that phrase is

Mindboggling in its

Mystery because we know that God is perfect. God is holy. God is the author of everything good. There is no evil in God

No sin in God yet. He's sovereignly ordained the most evil

Sinful act in all of human history the murder of his own son at the hands of sinful men and women

You see the mystery here God's sovereignty over the cross God's sovereignty over the death of his son God's sovereignty over the

murder and crucifixion of his perfect son

And it all being the will of God to crush him to put him to grief

So that we sinners might be saved. Oh the mystery just gets deeper that we who rebelled against God might have the privilege of knowing God and being

Saved by the mercy of God that we is the ones who have gone astray

The Lord has taken the judgment for our sin and put it on his son instead in our place. Oh

God repress you for the mystery of the cross for the wonder of the cross for your grace and the cross for your mercy

In the cross Lord Jesus for willingly saying not my will but yours be done and God our Father for willing

The crucifixion of Jesus for our salvation for my salvation for the salvation

Of the nations God we praise you we have turned away from you
