15 Amazing Verbs
I wasn’t going to blog today. I finished the 8 Colors of God’s Grace and hadn’t decided what to do next. Then I read Isaiah 53:3-7
I read the verbs in these verses and they affected me like never before.
Despised Rejected Man of Sorrows
Suffered Ignored Dishonored
Took my infirmities Carried my sins
Stricken
Smitten Afflicted Pierced
Crushed Punished Wounded
These are just any old verbs. They describe the horror that Jesus endured for me – for you!
And the most astonishing thing of all is the last part of verse 7. Look at it again and let the words soak in:
The LORD – the great I AM – allowed this suffering.! In fact, He planned it. It was His sovereign will. Why??
Does that fact astound you?
How does it give you total assurance of His love?
