Isaiah 53 – No One Loves us Like Jesus

 

Isaiah communicated the suffering of the One who loved us and died for us. Jesus received God’s punishment for our sin so that we could have peace with God. We are healed because Jesus was wounded. He carried our sorrows so that we could find hope. No one will ever love us like Christ loves us, because no one has ever done for us what He has done.

 

In our deepest moments of grief and loss, we need only look to Him on the Cross and realize that He understands. He alone can heal the wounded heart. Acts 8:32 and John 12:38 give proof to what Isaiah spoke of.

 

God made the promise that all good things come to those who love the Lord. Sometimes we must go through trials before we get satisfaction from the problem solved. We know that if this is the way of God, it is the best way.

 

Isaiah complained that no one was listening to him. That is the case with many today. The word of God is not popular in our world today. Our world says, “if it feels good, do it.” That is not the word of God. God tells us to look to Him for answers. If we don’t like the answer, we know we are not in God’s will.

 

We must remember that no man goes to the Father except through Jesus. If we don’t believe in Jesus, then we cannot believe in God. Jesus bore our sorrows and griefs, but He was not a grief stricken or sorrowful man. Jesus was happy to die for us. It was His choice to willingly be nailed to the cross for us. And it didn’t end there. We do not serve a dead Christ but a risen Savior. He rose from the grave in victory and now He sits at the right hand of God. He took our hell so that we might have turned to Him and found release from guilt, forgiveness for wrongdoings and healing from our sins. The heavens rejoice over one sinner who comes to Him. All we must do is accept His invitation and come to Him in baptism.
