The Man of Sorrows

“A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.”
— Isa. 53:3

“In the measure in which He knew what it was to be holy, He felt what it was to be made sin before God. In the measure in which He knew the love of God, He felt what it was to be forsaken of God.”

“He is the resurrection and the life. Wonderful that He, such in this world, Master of death, steps then into death Himself for us!”
